UFC boss Dana White has admitted to giving Conor McGregor special treatment ahead of his comeback fight.
McGregor is currently filming season 31 of The Ultimate Fighter alongside UFC rival Michael Chandler in Las Vegas before they face each other in the octagon later this year. Reports circulated that several contestants on The Ultimate Fighter were dropped from the reality show after being guaranteed a spot in order to make space for some of McGregor's recruits.
White denied to having any knowledge of the claims but went on to admit that McGregor will be granted some of his requests because of his star power in the promotion. "I have no idea, who gives a s**t? These stories that come out of these things, we're working on all of this stuff," White said.
