He is hoping McGregor will be back soon as he looks to go for a quadruple of fights for the Dubliner in 2020.

White said: "Lots of things make sense but I need to see what Conor wants to do.

“I want Conor to fight three more times this year. I want to see Conor vs Masvidal but I think Conor vs Khabib is so good for their legacies. That is the fight to make.

“Putting that fight in the new Las Vegas Raiders stadium would be good but it could go anywhere. We need to sit down and look at what makes the most sense.”

McGregor claims he will rake in £60million for his latest win - coming out at £1.5m per SECOND.

After his stoppage, he rorared: "Etch my name in history.

"I like this weight division. I am unscathed and in shape but I still don't think I am back where I was.

"I am going to party and spend time with my family but then I will be back in the gym and ANYONE can get it next."
