Dana White confident that McGregor will fight soon
If Dana White has his way, his latest disagreement with Conor McGregor shouldn't affect their working relationship in the future.
The UFC president and the organization's biggest star are currently in a standoff after White took McGregor out of the main event of UFC 200 for missing a major press conference last week.
McGregor tweeted Monday that he was back on the card, but the UFC quickly responded by saying that the situation was unchanged.
White confirmed the company's stance in an interview with TMZ, making sure to mention that he and McGregor are not feuding before rattling off several possible events for the Irishman's next fight.
"He's not fighting on 200," said White. "He'll fight on 201, 202, 203, whatever, I don't know when, but we'll get it figured out."
Pressed on the issue of whether there is any bad blood between himself and McGregor, White didn't bite.
"There's literally ... no," White said. "And you know me, I'd say it if there was."
