Conor McGregor Announces Some Huge News...
Conor McGregor has announced that he will fight on the UFC 200 bill in Las Vegas on 9 July after all. Last week the featherweight champion caused a stir when he apparently announced his retirement on Twitter.
Happy to announce that I am BACK on UFC 200!
Shout out to @danawhite and @lorenzofertitta on getting this one done for the fans. #Respect— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) April 25, 2016
McGregor said on his facebook page late last week that the promotional obligations had become a distraction for him. UFC President Dana White highlighted McGregor's massive importance to the UFC over the weekend, but said that he still wouldn't be fighting at UFC 200.
"I want him to fight, but it's not right," White said. "Conor has a huge fan base, people love to see him fight ... But UFC 200 is going to go on (without him)."
Now that McGregor's back and with only two months to go- we can't wait for what will no doubt be the most talked about event in UFC history.
