Conor McGregor Retires (Will Not Fight In UFC 200) *UPDATE: Not retired, wants to fight in UFC 200*

[OfTheCross]

Finding out that this was actually only over promoting the fight takes away from it a bit for me. Had it truly been a move over the money I'd be more impressed.

Now i think breh is just shook at not knowing what to say in the presser. He reaped what he sowed. Hes complaining that he does the promotion but he gets paid way more than any other fighter atm. All fighters have to promote. UFC is in a very tough spot. Im all for fighter pay but this is getting a little strange.

fukk it i still want to see nate beat his ass again either way.

If they are going to cave to conors demand they will have to cave to everyone elses

what a fukking charade

So as a gesture of good will, I went and not only saved that 10 million dollars in promotion money, I then went and tripled it for them.
And all with one tweet.
Keep that 10 mill to promote the other bums that need it. My shows are good.

 

[Gyasi85]

Props to Mcgregor, but if he still loses to Diaz come fight day, this gonna look reeeeeeeeeeeeeeal silly.

Wonder how UFC will play this because Conor is saying what other fighters have alluded to and some have been too scared to say. By making this about the art of fighting its brilliant and I don't see how anyone can disagree with it.

Brilliant in what stance? Conor is only where he is at because he played the game. Other fighters don't get what he gets because the UFC doesn't give them media attention and plus this was UFC 200 he knew he was gon have a boatload of media obligations

Because everyone thought it was about money but he has made it about the company being unreasonable to a fighter that only wants to fight.Yes he has operated well with the media but he has also hinted that he doesn't like that aspect much and. Also this boo hoo he gets treated better than other fighters.......NO shyt, the concept of special treatment is nothing new in any industry.

He wants to do media obligations but on his terms and that was NY. He would still be doing media if he didn't get his ass whooped so now he wants to be all focused, oh that's cool he got embarrassed and now he wants to save face and be better prepared next time. Nate only had 10 days he wasn't worried about anything and cleaned Conor's clock in 2 rounds. Conor knows he can't take another L against Nate or it's a wrap for his antics and him being able to move up

 

[Roid Jones]

This may have been an issue for him even if he had beat Diaz, all the things he wrote in that statement are things he has spoken about in the past.

He has spoken about being tired of the media obligations but now he has a legit excuse because of the "bigger" man. This is the same guy who said Nate is a cholo who threw up gang signs with one hand and animal balloons with the other. Said he had a soft body said he was skinny but fat at the same time talking about Nate's belly. He's acting as if it's his/UFC fault he lost but not giving Nate any credit the man who still took the fight on 10 days notice.

 

[HeruDat1]

He's full of shyt.

Now he wasn't focused.
Now he wants to go back to his roots.
Now he doesn't want to do all the press.

Breh your existence was created on hype via the cameras press and interviews. Sure he's a nice fighter but his ego persona always came first and out weighted the talent.

Now he's taken an L and its everything else's fault. And he wants to retreat. And got nerve to talk shyt about Nate lmaoo.

Yep.

If he never took an L none of this would be happening.

He'd be happily promoting his next fight.
