McGregor has lost a lot of fans in the last couple of years and is desperate to once again fight and gain the respect that he craves for.  <\/p>\n<p>Conor McGregor recently posted messages on social media of an interaction that he had with <strong>UFC President Dana White<\/strong> campaigning for a fight. Part of that exchange was McGregor campaigning to fight veteran <strong>Diego Sanchez<\/strong> who is unranked and at the end of his career. <\/p>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">To Diego Sanchez&#8230; <br \/>I seen your recent comments about your final bout and I am in! <br \/>After you fought Pereira, I had requested for myself and you to compete in Dublin.

McGregor published these private messages to show fans that he has been asking the UFC for a fight throughout 2020 but they haven\u2019t been keen on giving him one.<\/p>\n<p>White wasn\u2019t impressed with McGregor leaking their private messages and said it was one of the lowest things a man can do as posting personal messages violated the man-code. McGregor was quick to respond and tell White that he broke the code first by lying.<\/p>\n<p>What we must point out is that McGregor waited to post all of these messages right before <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/betting-opportunity\/ufc-253-preview\">UFC 253 Adesanya vs. Costa<\/a> could take place. The media immediately shifted focus from UFC253 and once again shone the spotlight on McGregor.<\/p>\n<h2>McGregor Wants To Box Pacquiao and Poirier <\/h2>\n<p>McGregor also claims that he is now in talks to box <strong>Manny Pacquiao<\/strong> and claims the UFC is aware of these talks \u2013 something that Dana White has denied.
