Dana White: Conor McGregor is ‘one of the most exciting fighters ever’

UFC Fight Night Dublin - Weigh-in

The UFC hype machine is in full effect, and UFC brass has laid out the red carpet for UFC Fight Night 59 main eventer Conor McGregor.

“The Notorious” one takes on Dennis Siver this Sunday in Boston, and UFC president Dana White can’t say enough great things about the Irishman.

In fact, White went so far to say that McGregor is one of the most exciting fighters in UFC history.

From NESN:

“Conor McGregor is without a doubt, probably one of the most exciting fighters ever in UFC history. The kid’s been on a tear. He’s got an entire country behind him in Ireland; it’s so fun to go to his fights, and actually, he’s selling out (TD) Garden this weekend on the same day that the Patriots are playing.

Those are some bold words from White, following UFC CEO’s comments that McGregor is like the Irish Muhammad Ali.
