Dana White: Conor McGregor's first UFC title defense will be in Ireland's Croke Park

"I'm Irish, Lorenzo is Italian. Lorenzo is Irish now, Lorenzo has turned the corner, he's Irish! We want to do Croke Park, we really do. If this kid wins that title, we want his first defense to be in Croke Park. Irish MMA is awesome, it's incredible, the way that you guys have burst onto the global scene. I can't wait to come back here and put on another event at the O2 or Croke Park, either one."

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) featherweight tiger No. 1 contender Conor McGregor has yet to win the 145-pound title, but promotion president Dana White -- along with UFC CEO Lorenzo Fertitta -- already have "Notorious" plans if and when he does.
