Dana White appeared on BT Sport's UFC show 'Beyond the Octagon' on Tuesday night to talk about the organisation's event in Dublin this past weekend.

White was full of praise for the night at the O2 saying, "13 years, the greatest event I've ever been to."

Questioned by host Gareth Davies about possible future events in Ireland, the UFC President said that the next Irish fight night was likely to be at an outdoor venue due to demand for tickets.

Yeah. Next time we go there...I've always said no, no, no, no, no...but it's crazy not to try an outdoor stadium in Ireland. I can absolutely, positively guarantee you that it will rain in Ireland. We've just got to figure out how to get around it.

Conor McGregor's next opponent has also been revealed with UFC UK tweeting that he will fight American Dustin Poirier on the Jon Jones and Alexander Gustafsson card at Las Vegas on September 27th.
