Dana White is not mincing words.
Reports that Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor are close to reaching a deal to fight surfaced this week via British tabloids. Despite reports that Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor are “very close” to reaching an agreement on a deal to return to the ring for another fight, UFC President Dana White called the reports “total bullshit” during a new interview with TMZ.
“It’s total bullshit!” White told the outlet, adding, “That story came from a paper called The Daily Mirror which is a tabloid in Europe. It’s total bulls**t!”
Watch Dana go in on the reports below:

The report actually came from The Sun, which was later covered by both Daily Mail and The Mirror.
But yes it can be confusing.
McGregor is currently under contract with the UFC, so Dana White would have to sign off on him entering the boxing ring to take on Mayweather. Clearly the Sun didn’t reach out to Dana about their story.
