Conor McGregor Tweets He Will Fight At UFC 200; UFC Yet To Confirm
Conor McGregor apparently will headline UFC 200 after all.
McGregor, who was removed from the July 9 card last week after a dispute over promotional appearances, tweeted early Monday that UFC bosses Dana White and Lorenzo Fertitta had reinstated him.
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
The UFC featherweight champion originally was scheduled to fight welterweight Nate Diaz at UFC 200 in a rematch of a bout Diaz won last month. Diaz’s victory by submission handed McGregor his first loss in UFC.
As of Monday morning, the fighting circuit had yet to confirm McGregor-Diaz II is back on.
