Damn. Sucks for MMA. Wasn't he the top draw?

Wonder for what reason

Sami: Here is my cousin, Justin!!!

He is afraid of Nate Diaz

...so he's a little bitch?

Just last week his teammate killed a guy . Maybe he didn't feel like promoting a fight and it caused a rift

Coordinated "fuck you" power play to send a message to Dana White/UFC?

I don't think Nate was being serious, apparently Dana is looking for a new opponent for him right now.

He backed off..

Would have liked to see him in wwE

It's all a work, brother

Sigh of relief from UFC.

He never said he was retiring, he just said he will retire young. I don't get all the hoopla around the tweet.

Has anyone ever gone to war with Dana White and come out ahead?

A lot of talk about this guy coming to WWE eventually. Just don't think he fits WWEs PG era. Don't think he'd be interested but I could be wrong.

Conor might. Especially if hi oppenent only wants to fight Conor.

Kind of glad Dana didnt give in to him. Cant send the message that he can do whatever he wants whenever he wants.

If by coming out ahead means 'getting more money' yes?

UFC president Dana White told the Los Angeles Times on Monday that the promotion has no deal in place for Conor McGregor to fight at UFC 200, despite a tweet claiming just that from McGregor on Sunday night.

White told the Times that McGregor saying he is back on the card is "not true."

"We haven't talked [to] Conor or his manager since the press conference [Friday]," White said. "I don't know why he would tweet that."

McGregor sent out a tweet late Sunday night thanking White and UFC CEO Lorenzo Fertitta for putting him back on the card. As of Monday morning, it had more than 78,000 retweets.

It's all a fucking work.

I'm done with Conor. He wants attention more than he wants to fight.

I dont think the UFC wants this fight to happen anyhow. Nate is going to beat him again and then Conor's legacy is diminished even more right before he has to fight either Aldo or Edgar. I have a feeling he'll lose that fight too. This is going to come crumbling down at some point.

Part of me thinks its great that the UFC is publically cutting his nuts off though. Its awesome to see him not be able to handle the word "no."

:mad:

Nate saying Conor was never in the fight is something I question. Bdcause correct me if im wrong but didnt conor win the 1st round?
