"When a guy starts to make crazy money, life-changing money, and he’s in one of those positions where he’s not just making it from the fights - he’s making it in other businesses that he has going on right now - you find out what people are all about.
"How passionate they are about what they do when the money comes.
"Conor and I still communicate regularly and he’s very fired up about coming back and becoming a world champion again."
White added: "He’ll fight anybody.
"Obviously he would love the rematch with Khabib - but he’ll fight anybody."
