Conor McGregor is as open as athletes come these days. While discussing his spat with the company and president Dana White on SportsCenter in an interview with Kenny Mayne, the UFC featherweight champion did not spare the details.
"It was a publicized civil war. It was a time where I was figuring out something," McGregor said. "I didn't just shut out and say no to everything. I wanted to do reasonable media.
"Then it was like, 'Conor, we've gotta get you on 40-hour flights to go do a run around New York, Vegas, California, 70 press conferences, 70 shows, [advertising],'" McGregor said.
