Dana White recently hinted at a boxing move and traveled to Ireland to support Callum Walsh against Przemyslaw Runowski, partnering with 360 Boxing Promotions for the event. Meanwhile, it’s almost a given that anyone from the UFC visiting Ireland must stop by Conor McGregor’s Black Forge Inn; skipping it would be like attending a concert and not hearing the headliner. Despite the ongoing rumors of a strained relationship, White visited McGregor’s famous pub, prompting the fighter to respond enthusiastically, calling it legendary.
When White rolled into the Black Forge Inn, he wasn’t just there for a casual drink; he totally leaned into the tourist vibes and snapped a pic with Liam Flynn, the pub’s manager. And the pub couldn’t resist posting the picture of the two looking all buddy-buddy, making it a moment worth sharing. On top of that, the multimillionaire even jumped behind the bar to pour some pints himself, which was a really cool move, as per McGregor.
Meanwhile, it looks like ‘The Notorious’ finally caught wind of the visit and shared his thoughts on his story the next day. At first, fans speculated that McGregor’s post was just a business move, thinking he hadn’t reacted due to some tension between them. But it turns out there’s no bad blood, and everything is cool between the two. In response to the pub’s Instagram post featuring White having a great time, McGregor called it ‘‘legendary.”
There’s no doubt about it now—McGregor has laid to rest any rumors of a rocky relationship with the UFC. Meanwhile, discussing McGregor’s situation, White has confirmed that there’s no opponent lined up for him as of now.
Dana White Doesn’t Have An Opponent Final For Conor McGregor
Recently, the UFC boss noted that with Michael Chandler shifting to fight Charles Oliveira, McGregor found himself without an opponent.

In a recent Q&A, when asked about potential opponents for The Irishman, White acknowledged that he didn’t have anyone specific in mind and will assess the situation when McGregor returns.
He stated, “It’s going to [be] determined when Conor comes back who the opponent is. Whenever Conor is ready, and he comes back.”
