Conor Mcgregor was set to for a rematch with superstar Nate Diaz after UFC 196, A light heavyweight title unification bout between Daniel Cormier and Jon Jones will headline the landmark event. Originally, McGregor (19-3) was supposed to fight Nate Diaz at UFC 200, but the UFC pulled the Irish star last week after he refused to fly to Las Vegas for a news conference.
Dana White has claimed that Connor McGregor is solely responsible for his removal from the main card at UFC 200. McGregor was scheduled to fight Nate Diaz at the landmark pay-per-view event in Las Vegas on 9 July, but was taken off the bill after refusing to fulfil obligatory media duties.
The Crumlin-based fighter subsequently threatened to take an early retirement, before reneging and offering to fight again if his promotional responsibilities were reduced.
“I didn't prevent Conor from fighting at UFC 200,” he said. “Everybody, if you look at [last week's] press conference – Joanna Jedrzejczyk came in from Poland. Claudia Gadelha came in from Brazil. This is what we do. This is how it works.”
Some people are wondering whether this will
be the slow decline of Conor McGregor's stardom. Before this he was plastered everywhere, a sporting icon that had come out of nowhere, after this display of childish behaviour it must be asked will he slowly lose the limelight?.
