Conor McGregor Goes Over Dana White’s Head, Appeals To Disney CEO Bob Chapek

Former two-division UFC champion Conor McGregor is taking a big step in his feud with UFC President Dana White by reaching out to Disney CEO Bob Chapek.

McGregor, who recently released private DM’s between himself and White, went on Instagram and issued a plea to Chapek. "The Notorious" one tried to show how much money the UFC and Disney, which owns ESPN, is losing by not having him fight.

The very first shot of the fight. Right on the button through the guard. I didn’t even put anything into that shot. Just placed it. It was hard for me not to dwell on the full 12 rounds that were potentially ahead of me and hold back my shots early. Still tho right on the absolute button. The first punch thrown. Remember the experts saying I wouldn’t land even 1 lol. I landed more than them all. The picture above is the very first punch of the fight thrown, and landed, and inside the very first second of the fight. Bums all of them “experts”. Listen to none of them! Really I should have just sat right thru that shot and took his head off and fuck the distance. If it didn’t work out just give him a good boot into the neck and get DQ’d and fined and who’d give a fuck. I’m upset I fully followed the rules for that fight to be honest. Floyd deserved a volley at the least. A shoulder even, break the face. Manny not so much tho I don’t think, but I will see how the build up goes and wait to hear what bitter old Freddie Roach has to say and then make a decision. My Whiskeys at half a b and climbing I could take a fine. I’d rather fight MMA anyway not sure why I’ve been held back like this, it’s borderline criminal at this stage. The biggest number generator in the game asking for four fights since February this year and getting left on seen. It’s pretty fucked up when I keep thinking of it. I’ve been right here this whole time. Bob Chapek, do you copy! I repeat, Bob Chapek - Do You Copy! Anyways boxing it is for now and I’m up for this! I hope no bottling takes place here. I’m already agreeing to these limited rules and holding back my full array of weapons. Let’s get it going guys. Much love, the champ champ

The retired UFC star also mentioned Chapek in a brief post on Twitter:

Pick someone for a hidin, Bob Chapek. On the house for the mouse, my pleasure @disney

While Disney has no direct influence whatsoever over how the UFC operates, they did help get UFC 249 postponed during the coronavirus pandemic. There has been no response yet from Chapek, Disney or the UFC as to the latest move made by McGregor.
