“That kind of a life, crazy sh*t happens when you’re in that type of lifestyle,” he told reporters after UFC Vegas 10. “You try to go out and act normal and be normal, and it’s hard to do sometimes. 

“I’m not defending Conor in any way, shape, or form. I don’t know enough about the situation to talk about it all. But I do know I’ve gone out with him before, and it’s batsh*t nuts.” 

Days before his arrest McGregor was approached by USADA on his luxurious yacht for a surprise visit. Upon which he questioned the UFC authorities. But fanatics did speculate a potential return to the octagon for the Irishman. White provided his opinion on that as well by saying, “Cejudo’s got a lot in the gas tank, too. He could definitely fight again. But I think when you have guys like Conor and Cejudo that have done it for a long time and cut weight, dieting, all the bullsh*t you go through, and then you make a lot of money – you just don’t feel like doing it any more. A lot of people don’t think Conor’s really done. I don’t know the answer to that question either, but we’ll see.” 

Lastly White spoke on McGregor’s popularity and narrated an incident. Where he, McGregor and then UFC owner, Lorenzo Fertitta had gone out for a night. 

“You just don’t understand how big this kid is until you go out with him. He was literally getting mobbed. People were going crazy, screaming, jumping up from blackjack tables, leaving their money there and running after Conor. I’ve never seen anything like that. Imagine what it’s like with him in Europe?”
