Dana White has described Conor McGregor as one of the most loyal fighters he has ever handled with Notorious then taking to twitter to call White his 'brother for life'.
2022 is set to be a big year for McGregor as he plans his comeback to the cage after months out with injury.
Of course, the specifics of McGregor's comeback are yet to be established, but after successfully defending his championship against Dustin Poirier a few weeks ago, reigning UFC 155-pound champion Charles Oliveira has already stated his desire to wait for McGregor's return this summer.
The man who will be ultimately making the big decisions around any fights for McGregor is Dana White, and he has praised McGregor's loyalty ever since he signed for the UFC in 2013.
“There’s been a lot of fighters that have been incredibly loyal to me and I’ve been incredibly loyal to them,” White told boxing expert Teddy Atlas on his podcast The Fight .
“Conor McGregor’s one of them. Conor’s a f*cking handful boy, but when you look at the way fighters are built, they’re different to everybody else on this planet.
“The Ronda Rouseys, Chuck Liddells, Matt Hughes, Conor McGregor, I don’t want to not mention people but there’s been a lot of fighters over the last 20 years that have been very loyal.”
