Well, this was predictable.
Dana White has told TMZ that Conor McGregor will not be fighting at UFC 200 despite his tweet on Monday morning, where the Dubliner claimed to be back on the bill.
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
White has spoken to reporters from TMZ Sports and says he has no idea what McGregor is talking about.
“It’s not true. We haven’t talked to Conor or his manager since the press conference. I don’t know why he would tweet that.
“All the media keeps asking me that. I feel like the scene in ‘Step Brothers’ when they ask if they can build the bunk beds.
“I don’t know how many more times I can say the fight is off or how many more press conferences I can have saying the fight is off for people to believe it’s off.”
