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 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.
