Could White have imagined this 24-year-old Irish kid from Dublin, a then-two-division Cage Warrior champion, would be in this position?

But then he immediately recognizes that a simple “no” answer doesn’t suffice. “I mean, listen, you guys have heard this story a million times,” White continues, “where I say I flew (McGregor) to Vegas, we went to dinner, I called (then-UFC CEO) Lorenzo (Fertitta) when I got into the car, and I said, ‘I don’t know if this kid can fight, but if he can even throw a punch, he’s going to be a huge star.’ What this guy has turned into and what he’s become is incredible.
