The madness surrounding UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor just never seems to stop. After being pulled from his UFC 200 rematch with Nate Diaz, the Irish superstar seemingly went in to social media meltdown.
He had missed his first press conference for the July 9 pay-per-view event, and so the promotion decided to stick a spanner in the works for ‘The Notorious.’ McGregor argued that the revenue he’d generated for the promotion thus far should cover his absence from the presser, but the UFC ‘didn’t want to set a precedent.’
