Dana White and Conor McGregor shared a legendary interaction in their first ever meeting at UFC Sweden back in 2013.
McGregor joined the UFC in 2013 after becoming a two-weight champion in Cage Warriors and made his debut at UFC on Fuel TV: Mousasi vs. Latifi.
And he made a huge impression inside the famed Octagon, spectacularly stopping Marcus Brimage in just 67 seconds.

He won the 'Knockout of the Night' award for his devastating performance, bagging a cool $50,000.
After the fight, McGregor paid White a visit in what was their first face-to-face meeting. Check it out below:
They shared a warm brace as the 54-year-old welcomed him to the promotion before praising his showing against Brimage.
"Welcome to the UFC," said White. "So, there's been a lot of hype... I guess the hype is real."

White and McGregor spoke about the fight as the UFC boss mapped out his next two fights, plotting a return in Boston, Massachusetts, before headlining a card in Dublin, Ireland, which came to fruition.
McGregor made a swift return to action as he beat Max Holloway in Boston before being matched up against Diego Brandao in the main-event of UFC's Dublin card.
He stopped the Brazilian in the first round, earning yet another post-fight bonus.

From there, McGregor mania kicked into overdrive as he beat Dustin Poirier then Denis Siver before earning a shot at UFC gold.
He stopped Chad Mendes to claim the interim UFC featherweight title and unified the 145lbs division with a brutal 13-second victory over Jose Aldo.
McGregor continued to enhance his reputation with his epic two-fight series with Nate Diaz. He exacted revenge in their rematch after suffering a shock submission loss in their first clash.
At UFC 205, he made history by becoming the first UFC fighter to hold two UFC championships in two weight classes simultaneously.
