Pros react to UFC pulling Conor McGregor from UFC 200

An already strange day grew even stranger Tuesday night when UFC president Dana White announced on ESPN’s Sportscenter that the UFC pulled Conor McGregor from the headlining slot of UFC 200 opposite Nate Diaz for refusing to attend a press conference this week in Las Vegas.

The news came just hours after McGregor abruptly announced his retirement from mixed martial arts with a cryptic tweet, and not surprisingly, McGregor’s fellow fighters had plenty to say about the bizarre turn of events. Check out reactions from the pros below.

So it seems the McGregor retirement rumor is true. My thoughts? It’s about the ca$h. Goes to UFC wanting more money & they said no. #UFC200
