Filed under: Featured , News , UFC Conor McGregor isn’t retired and is still willing to fight at UFC 200, but the UFC featherweight champion is going to need a lighter publicity and promotional schedule to do it, he today announced. On Tuesday McGregor announced a surprise retirement , and UFC President Dana White subsequently confirmed the Irish champ’s removal from July’s UFC 200 headliner. However, in a new statement posted today, McGregor (19-3 MMA, 7-1 UFC) said he’s not retired – and that he’s still willing to rematch Nate Diaz (19-10 MMA, 14-8 UFC) in their UFC 200 welterweight non-title headliner – but with a few conditions. Notably, McGregor, who suffered a loss to Diaz in March, said he wants fewer distractions heading into the July 9 pay-per-view event at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
