UFC CEO Dana White reacts after Conor McGregor and Dan Hooker seemingly agree to fight: “That would be a great fight”

UFC president Dana White has given his thoughts on the prospect of Conor McGregor squaring off against Dan Hooker next year.

Everyone knows that Conor McGregor is a hard guy to predict. One day he’s teasing a return to the cage, and the next he’s off partying in the middle of nowhere. He is a true enigma in the sport of mixed martial arts and, by default, he’s the biggest superstar we’ve ever seen in this sport.

With that in mind, it’s safe to say there’s a lot invested in his potential comeback. He’s made it clear that he wants to return but after suffering an injury prior to his scheduled bout with Michael Chandler, McGregor has instead focused his attention on having a good time outside of active competition.

Recently, however, Conor has implied that he could be preparing to face Dan Hooker in early 2025. Dana White, meanwhile, had the following thoughts after he heard that.
