"Conor has said that he would like to win the 155-pound belt and fight four times a year and defend both belts. If anybody can do it, Conor McGregor can. This guy has pretty done everything he said he would do. I'm interested."
Traditionally, if a champion wanted to move up or down a weight class, he or she would have to vacate the belt in their current division. Frankie Edgar confirmed on a recent episode of the MMA Hour that this was asked of him when the UFC wanted him to move down to 145 lbs while he held the 155 lb belt.
However, White believes an exception could be made for McGregor.
"That is true that normally I would say if you're going to move up in weight, you have to give up the belt. But Conor has done everything he said he would do. He loves to fight. He really likes money, so if anybody could do it, it's probably him."
That means a superfight with lightweight champion Rafael Dos Anjos could be the next for record-breaking McGregor.
Nate Diaz, Jose Aldo, Frankie Edgar and anyone else spoiling for a fight and 'red panties' night payday with the Dubliner will just have top wait.
