"Let's match me up with this motherf*cker," McGregor said on the latest episode of TUF. "I asked them long before this show. I said: 'Give me this motherf*cker in Dublin. He's spoke many times about my native country, I'll kill him on home soil as a warm-up for the Aldo fight.'
"But they wouldn't do it. They wouldn't sacrifice your old ass for a fight."
As the back-and-forth continued, McGregor asked White to confirm that he had indeed asked for the Faber fight.
"Dana, tell him what I said," McGregor requested.
"I did," White responded. "I know. He wanted to fight you."
So now we know that it wasn't just bravado and that Conor McGregor really did step up in an attempt to headline his second Dublin show in as many years but we can't say we blame the UFC for seeing reason by not matching this pair up at this point in time.Explore more on these topics:
