Dana White says there's no truth to the rumors of Conor McGregor appearing at WrestleMania 34.

"It's not true. It's absolutely not true," the UFC president told "Good Day New York" Thursday.

A report from Adam Higgins of SunSport in the U.K. claimed McGregor was "close" to a deal with WWE to make a one-off appearance at WrestleMania 34 in April 2018. However, White showed a text message he received from WWE chairman Vince McMahon denying the rumors.

"News to me," McMahon wrote, later adding, "It might be good someday but not now."
