UFC president Dana White and former champion Conor McGregor have had fans confused for the past week.  McGregor tweeted that he was retiring early, then White said McGregor was cut from UFC 200 because he did not show up for mandatory promotional activities, then McGregor said he wanted to compete in UFC 200 but he also wanted to focus on training, not the numerous activities that would distract him.  Well the two must’ve worked everything out because early this morning, McGregor tweeted that he is back on the UFC 200 card.

UFC 200 is set for July 9th in Las Vegas and Conor McGregor was supposed to headline the event in a rematch against Nate Diaz.  White continually said McGregor would not be on the card and offered to keep Diaz on to fight someone else.  Diaz however said he only wanted to fight McGregor.

White said he wasn’t upset with the star it’s just that they extended every opportunity to get McGregor to Vegas to promote the fight including offering to fly him and his equipment in.

White may have been posturing or the two just worked things out.  It was unlikely White would’ve found another name as big as McGregor for the milestone event.  Jon Jones was the only other consideration, the fighter made his return to UFC winning against Ovince Saint Preux this past Saturday.  His possible opponent would’ve been Daniel Cormier, who has been sidelined with a leg injury and is scheduled for an MRI today.
