Dana White sends second warning to fans who plan to illegally stream Conor McGregor v Dustin Poirier

Dana White has once again warned UFC fans against illegally streaming Conor McGregor's fight with Dustin Poirier.

The Notorious returns to the octagon next weekend when he faces the American at UFC 257 in Abu Dhabi.

The UFC President recently revealed that he has a 'surprise' for fans hoping to illegally watch the bout and he has now expanded on those comments.

He told The Mac Life: "We’ve been one of the leagues that has been so proactive on piracy.

"I love how cool and tough this guys act on social media because let me tell you what, we’ve caught a lot of people.

"Let me tell you what they do: they cry. They cry and they beg not to be prosecuted and all this other stuff.

“We just overcame a huge hurdle in the piracy world and we’re going to catch some of these guys in 2021 and I look forward to the crying and the begging. We’ll see how tough they are when they get caught.

He added: “They’re never all going to go away. They’re going to be out there, and we’re not trying to get rid of all of them.

"I just want to catch a few. That’s all I’m looking for.

"You can’t shut the whole thing down, that piracy industry is going to go on forever.

"Let me catch a few and watch what happens — and I will, oh it’s coming."
