Dana White believes Conor McGregor and Muhammad Ali are the best at mind games.
The Irishman is due to finally return to the Octagon for the first time since 2021 when he takes on Michael Chandler in Las Vegas at UFC 303 on June 29.
But recently he’s been filmed out partying and Monday’s Dublin press conference was cancelled at short notice leading to speculation that he is injured.

UFC president Dana White didn’t confirm if the fight is going ahead but suggested his partying is ‘mental warfare’.
Speaking on the Flagrant Podcast he said: “I will tell you this, and I don’t like comparing people to Muhammad Ali because to me he’s the f****** [best], and f*** what he did in fighting; just as a human, what this guy accomplished – but he didn’t give a f*** what anybody said.”
“Ali, Conor – both are level when it comes to mental warfare, the two best of all time when it comes to mental warfare.”
