Irish-American Dana White joined a Hall of Shame containing Chris Brown and Mikhail Gorbachev when he confused Ireland with the UK last night.
McGregor enjoyed his Eamon De Valera responds to Churchill moment, when he asserted in response that Ireland was in fact a different country to the UK. The video has proven rather popular.

White has now responded to the 'controversy' by claiming that he is aware that Ireland is not part of the UK and he was only trying to get a rise out of McGregor.
He wants Ireland to 'calm down'.
@MMAEcho calm down Ireland. I'm very aware I was fucking with Connor.
