Dana White responds to Conor McGregor facing off with bare-knuckle rival

Dana White has insisted he "wasn't bothered" by Conor McGregor's face-off with Mike Perry at BKFC 41.

McGregor has been out of UFC action for almost two years after breaking his leg, but is finally set to make his comeback against Michael Chandler this year as part of the latest series of The Ultimate Fighter. During his time away from the octagon, the Irishman has attended a series of high-profile events including Gervonta Davis' win over Ryan Garcia and the bare-knuckle boxing clash between Perry and Luke Rockhold.

Perry picked up a victory with McGregor watching on from ringside, where he was spotted drinking from a bottle of his Proper Twelve whiskey. And the UFC superstar was called into the ring after Perry's win where he shook hands with the American before coming face-to-face as if the pair were building up to a fight.
