Dana White recently named the event that he would like to go back to watch for the first time.

The UFC president stated that it would either be a Conor McGregor fight because of the excitement the Irishman brings among UFC fans, or he would like to go back and rewatch the UFC London event that happened in March. He exclaimed that he was in awe of the energy that English fans brought to the event.

The 52-year-old further added that the organization decided to return to the UK just because of the fans of the country. Here's what White said while doing a fans' Q&A session with Laura Sanko:

"It would probably be, either it would be a Conor McGregor fight that just the energy and the buzz were insane, or it would be the whole last event that we just did in England. That was f*cking nuts. Absolutely f*cking nuts. It was so crazy that we just planned another event in England when we weren't even gonna go back to England, because the fans are that f*cking awesome."
