Dana White discloses if it is difficult to work with Conor McGregor - "I've dealt with some bad guys"
Dana White recently revealed what doing business with Conor McGregor is like, and the UFC president has no complaints. Ahead of the Irishman's long-awaited return to action, White discussed what it's like to work with a global superstar like McGregor and praised him for being a thorough professional.
'The Notorious' will make his highly anticipated return to the UFC by first reprising his role as a coach on the upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) before facing 'Iron' in the octagon later in the year. Considering their contrasting fighting styles and firebrand personalities, Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler certainly promises to be a highly entertaining affair.
In a recent interview on Bussin' With The Boys, Dana White discussed how Conor McGregor was a great partner and wasn't someone who played dirty tricks to make more money:
"He's actually been one of the easiest guys to deal with. Conor McGregor would be perfect if he showed up everywhere on time... He's been great to work with... I look at Conor as a great partner... Believe me, I've dealt with some bad guys in the past that will do dirty shit to try to hold you up for more money... Conor is not that guy."

Conor McGregor next fight: 'The Notorious' lashes out at Charles Oliveira over fight prediction
Conor McGregor and Charles Oliveira recently went back and forth on social media after the Brazilian claimed he expects McGregor to lose against Michael Chandler.
'The Notorious' has been sidelined since July 2021, when he suffered a brutal loss to Dustin Poirier, marking his third stoppage loss in his past four fights. Chandler has a similar record, having only one victory in his last four outings.
In a recent interview on The MMA Hour, Oliveira claimed McGregor could get a title shot with a win against Chandler, but that wasn't going to happen:
"I don't think he's going to win... People love to watch his fights, but I don't think he's going to win... I believe Chandler is an explosive fighter. McGregor hasn't fought in a long time. I believe Chandler is going to win."
Not one to take criticism lightly, McGregor fired back with a series of now-deleted tweets. Read the tweets below:
"Charles Oliveira shut your pie hole... [Brazil flag] 2-0... Actually 3-0 because Rda s**t a brick"
Unfazed, Oliveira soon fired back with a response, taking a jab at McGregor for deleting his tweets and predicting a dominant Chandler win.
