A week after suddenly retiring and getting pulled by UFC president Dana White from the UFC 200 fight card for not attending a mandatory press conference , UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor announced late last night that his fight with Nate Diaz is back on.
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
One has to wonder whether this whole thing was just on big PR move by the UFC and Conor. In the end it doesn’t matter as long as we get to see Conor and Nate fight again in two months, I’m OK with it.
