When it comes to the UFC, drama seems to follow like a shadow. Lately, rumors have been swirling about tension between Dana White and Conor McGregor. And the plot just thickened in the most unexpected way as the UFC CEO visited his star athlete’s pub.
White recently took a little Irish vacation to Ireland, and the man made a beeline for McGregor’s pride and joy – The Black Forge Inn. This isn’t just any old pub; it’s the UFC star’s award-winning establishment in Dublin.
White didn’t just pop in for a quick pint and dash. He went full tourist mode and even posed for a photo with Liam Flynn, the pub’s manager. The pub’s Instagram account couldn’t resist sharing the moment. They posted a snap of White and Flynn looking chummy together.
The rumors about some friction between Dana White and Conor McGregor stemmed from ‘The Notorious’s’ recent comments about not getting a UFC date. He was adamant about fighting in December of this year but White had other plans and pushed it to the next year. The Irishman asked the help of Turki Alalshikh to mediate and get him a date.
This little back-and-forth about the fight business seemed to have strained the relationship between the two. Although neither of them has said anything, it remains to be seen what the next step in their interaction will be.
