“He and I are meeting on the 18th of this month,” White confirmed.
First, McGregor will appear in court on Thursday to face multiple charges for his attack on a bus at the Barclays, Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. ahead of UFC 223. McGregor threw a dolly through the window of the bus, shattering glass and injuring fighters Ray Borg and Michael Chiesa as well as a UFC employee. According to TMZ, McGregor’s legal team is working on a plea deal.
As for White, he claims to have no inside knowledge of the proceedings.
"I don't know whats gonna happen. I don't know what Conor has planned. I don't know what Conor and his team have worked on,” White said of the case. "Whatever happens tomorrow ... I will be as shocked as you.”
McGregor hasn’t competed inside the Octagon since winning the lightweight crown with a second-round stoppage of Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205 in November 2016. Last year, he lost to Floyd Mayweather in a boxing match via 10th round TKO that reportedly earned him $100 million. The SBG Ireland representative was stripped of the UFC lightweight belt earlier this year.
