Conor McGregor appears to have another message for UFC.
“The Notorious” shocked the sports world Tuesday with a tweet hinting at retirement. Later that day, we learned from UFC president Dana White that McGregor was pulled from the UFC 200 main event against Nate Diaz after refusing to do a pre-fight press conference.
But it turns out McGregor’s still in the game, and he’s back to his brash ways on social media, too.
McGregor explained his side of the story Thursday in a lengthy and NSFW Facebook post. The featherweight champion wrote about how extensive media obligations have become a burden, and that he was asking for some promotional leeway for UFC 200. But that apparently didn’t happen.
McGregor didn’t back down, though, and he sent a simple, yet clear message with another social media post Thursday.
This situation appears far from over.
