“#Conor McGregor, Dana White feud escalates after exposed messages<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n It may just be Conor McGregor vs. Dana White in the octagon soon.<\/p>\n

On Sunday morning, McGregor tweeted that White should \u201cstop lying,\u201d in reference to comments White has previously made about the former double champion\u2019s desire to fight in a potential boxing match against Manny Pacquiao.<\/p>\n

Just two days earlier, McGregor took to Twitter<\/a> to post several screenshots of Instagram direct messages between him and White from earlier this year. The screenshots, which have since been deleted, revealed that McGregor wanted to stay active this year and schedule at least three fights.<\/p>\n

The 32-year-old McGregor brought up potential 2020 fights with top lightweight contender Justin Gaethje, as well as Diego Sanchez. White dismissed the notion of a Sanchez fight in one of his replies.<\/p>\n

Having fought just once this year, a knockout victory over Donald Cerrone at UFC 246 in January, McGregor said coming into 2020 that he wanted to have a \u201cseason\u201d with three fights. That obviously did not happ<\/a>en in part due to the coronavirus pandemic as well as disagreements with the UFC.<\/p>\n

In an Instagram post Saturday, McGregor wrote that it was \u201cborderline criminal\u201d that he has been kept on the sidelines. McGregor did announced on Twitter in June that he was retired from the UFC. He also tweeted Friday that he plans to fight Pacquiao in boxing next. And on Monday night, he exchanged tweets with Dustin Poirier in which the two discussed a potential charity exhibition fight.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe biggest number generator in the game<\/a> asking for four fights since February this year and getting left on seen,\u201d McGregor wrote on Instagram. \u201cIt\u2019s pretty f\u2013ked up when I keep thinking of it. I\u2019ve been right here this whole time.\u201d<\/p>\n

White responded to the McGregor drama \u2014 and specifically the screenshots of their messages \u2014 at the UFC 253 post-fight news<\/a> conference early Sunday morning in Abu Dhabi.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is some man-code stuff,\u201d White told reporters at UFC 253 over the weekend.<\/a> \u201cIt\u2019s just something you don\u2019t do. It\u2019s one of the dirtiest things you can do.\u201d<\/p>\n

As far the Pacquiao fight is concerned, White said, \u201cI have no idea.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou guys have been asking me about Conor McGregor forever,\u201d White told reporters. \u201cDid you see Conor McGregor\u2019s tweet? The retirement tweet. \u2018I\u2019m retired.’\u201d<\/p>\n

McGregor, who is still under contract with the UFC, continued to blast White Sunday, tweeting that it was White who violated the code when he lied about him \u201cturning down fights\u201d earlier this year. McGregor also claims that White is aware of the potential Pacquiao fight and that he has the \u201clegal letters\u201d to prove it.<\/p>\n

In order to go through with the boxing match against Pacquiao, McGregor would need the promotion\u2019s approval.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
