Dana White slams Conor McGregor at UFC 253 for sharing their messages calling it ‘one of the dirtiest things you can do’
UFC president Dana White has slammed Conor McGregor after the Irishman shared their private conversation online.
McGregor, 32, took to social media after 38-year-old veteran Diego Sanchez called him out.
But Notorious wanted to prove he was one step ahead of the game by trying to arrange a fight with Sanchez back in February.
McGregor showed four screenshots of his conversation with White including one message that read: "A fight late May in LA. Me and Diego in Dublin in August.
";Rematch end of the year. BOOM. Me and Diego in Dublin is a cracker."
It's fair to say White was less than impressed with the suggestion and responded: "Bro, we should lose our promoter's license if we make that fight."
But White was even more furious with the fact McGregor shared the chat to his 8.2million followers.
Lashing out at the two-weight division world champ, he said at the UFC 253 post-fight press conference: “I had people blowing me up left and right.
"I mean everybody here knows, I mean even the ladies, this is some man-code stuff but it’s just something you don’t do.
"It’s just something that you don’t do.
“It is one of the dirtiest things you can do.

"Which, by the way, we were just talking about Diego Sanchez.
"And Diego Sanchez was in there in this private conversation that I was having with Conor McGregor.
"When you are the No2 or No3 ranked guy in the world, and you’re telling me that you want to fight unranked 39-year-old Diego Sanchez in the main event of Los Angeles. Well...”
McGregor recently slammed the UFC for the 'f**** up' decision to hold him back from fights.
He then revealed he is in talks for a lucrative boxing fight with 41-year-old legend Manny Pacquiao.
McGregor wrote on Instagram: "I’d rather fight MMA anyway not sure why I’ve been held back like this, it’s borderline criminal at this stage.
"The biggest number generator in the game asking for four fights since February this year and getting left on seen.
"It’s pretty f***ed up when I keep thinking of it. I’ve been right here this whole time.
"Anyways boxing it is for now and I’m up for this! I hope no bottling takes place here.
