Dana Brought Khabib's Father into Khabib's Camp, But said Conor McGregor is my Ali, my Tyson, Is he Double Siding? MMA

UFC president Dana White never shies away from praising Conor McGregor, he even has said that the fighter gets special treatment in occasions which is completely fair too.

 

After Khabib Nurmagomedov 's father was granted the visa we thought that Dana has a new favorite but it turns out that he is still taking a stand for Conor. 2018, marked Khabib time, but in between promoting the UFC 229 event, Dana compared Conor with two of the biggest Boxers of all time and said Conor McGregor is my Ali, my Tyson. What does it show, or proved about Dana White? People thought he would take Mcgregor's side but he is a wise businessman and this raises another question: is he playing double side?

Promoting Conor Fight isn't a big deal, but previously all White had to do is to hand the Irishman the mike, but this time it's a little different. Dana is promoting the fight on his own. In doing so, he compared Conor to Mike Tyson and Mohammad Ali. In his recent sit down with Fox news, Dana Said:

“He’s my Ali. He’s my Tyson. He burst onto the scene and I knew the minute I sat down and had dinner with him that this kid was going to be a star. I didn’t know if he’d be able to fight and I didn’t know if he’d be able to win a title, but I knew he was going to be a star.”

McGregor and Nurmagomedov fight is happening in UFC 229 main event on October 6th in Las Vegas.
