The head of the UFC called false information about the fight between McGregor and Pacquiao

Information about the Boxing match between Conor McGregor and Manny Pacquiao, which is supposed to take place this winter in the middle East, is not true, says the President of the UFC, Dana white.

“I do not know if you saw it or not, but after McGregor reported the fight with Pacquiao in the middle East, the Saudis approached him and said that it was a lie, threatening him with a court if he did not remove the poster for the fight within 15 minutes. He immediately removed the poster and started talking about the fight with Porier,” said the head of the UFC in an interview with Barstool Sports.

Note that the team of Manny Pacquiao also confirmed the information about the fight, however, given the fact that the interests of the Filipino and Irish are represented by Paradigm Sport Management, it can be assumed that the parties acted according to a pre-agreed scenario.

Dustin Porrier signed to fight Conor McGregor

The second number of the UFC lightweight rating, Dustin Porrier, has signed a contract to fight Conor McGregor, which last Tuesday received from the management of the largest MMA promotion.

The fact that the fighters were sent contracts for the fight, said the famous sports columnist Brett Okamoto.

“Sources report that Conor McGregor has received an official offer from the UFC to fight Dustin Porrier, as Dana white said in an interview with Barstool Sports. I was told that the contracts were sent to the fighters on Tuesday. This does not even mean that the fight is organized, but the contracts for the fight were sent out,” the journalist wrote.

In turn, Dustin Porier announced that he accepted the offer of the UFC.

“I took,” wrote the “Brilliant” on Twitter.

Recall that the other day Conor McGregor announced his desire to fight with Dustin Porier without the participation of the UFC, however, Dana white made it clear that this fight can only take place under the auspices of his organization.
