“Things Must Change” – Conor McGregor Urges Dana White to “Stop Lying”
Seems like things are not going too well between UFC President Dana White and former dual Champion Conor McGregor. The Notorious came out recently with several tweets targeting UFC and Dana White for not accepting fight offers. In the leaked chats revealed, Conor McGregor can be seen asking for Justin Gaethje fight in July, and a potential match-up with Diego Sanchez, with Khabib Nurmagomedov rematch targeted for December. However, nothing could capitalise, with Conor McGregor disagreeing to become a back-up fight for back to back events.
I was pushing hard for the season.
Multiple opponents, multiple dates offered throughout. All to take place back to back.

Earlier, in the post-fight presser after UFC 253, Dana White stated “it’s the most dirtiest thing” one can do, and felt that Conor McGregor “broke the man-code” after he shared his private conversations with McGregor on social media platform Twitter.

Code was broke when you lied about me turning down fights mate. I said Justin in May and you went and said I did not want to fight. It’s not about Diego. Diego was a filler to get more fights in.
