Dana White makes a big claim about Conor McGregor

In a chat with ESPN’s Brett Okamoto, Dana White implied that he can conclude that at UFC 257 the world will see a motivated Conor McGregor, the fighter who wants to fight without any second thought.

“I know when the real Conor is here and the other Conor is here and believe me when I tell you, the real Conor is here…This is one of the things that I have always given this kid so much credit for. If something happens to Dustin Poirier, he is the Conor McGregor right now, that does not give a s*** who we put in that fight on that night. He’s that gut right now. He’s going to be, ‘Who’s ready? Who you got? I’m going to the gym, tell me who’s showing up on Saturday.’ He’s that guy right now. That Conor McGregor is back.”

Further, Dana White also promoted the upcoming Pay-Per-View by stating that, “If you are a Conor McGregor fan, and you love everything about Conor McGregor fights, then don’t miss this one.”
