The zombie apocalypse has begun!
UFC 200 is rumoured to have the new main event fight announced today, after the headline stars Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz fell off the pay-per-view card. It all started with McGregor announcing his retirement, but it goes much further than that.
Zombie?
Although his ‘retirement’ was short lived, it gave us a glimpse in to the reality of being a UFC superstar. It later emerged that McGregor was in a stand off with the UF due to not attending the first press conference for UFC 200.
Then we got this news:
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) 25 April 2016
But that also turned out to be bogus, as UFC president Dana White shot down the announcement within hours. So what is going on with this whole rift between McGregor and the UFC?
Well McGregor’s coach has some interesting insight on this drama….
