”We don’t treat Conor any different than we have everybody in this f-cking organization!” White stated at a UFC 178 media day in 2014.
“For me to say (McGregor doesn’t get special treatment) would be ridiculous – of course he does,” White confessed at a Q&A with Jim Rome in 2016.

”So I lied to him,” White confessed to the media later, adding that, “I knew if I told him, he’s going to tell his camp. His camp is going to go tell this guy and that guy, and that’s how this thing going to get out.
”So I said, ‘You’re fighting Ivan Menjivar.’”
White also admitted that he’d duped Menjivar, Michael McDonald and Brad Pickett into believing that they were in line to fight for the interim title fight, all so it was guaranteed to be a surprise when Renan Barao was brought in to face off with Faber live on TV.
