Dana White says Conor McGregor knew the deal for UFC 200

Even with Conor McGregor nowhere in sight for the UFC 200 press conferences taking place, a lot of questions are still coming up about “The Notorious.”

Many were shocked last week when the UFC announced that they had to pull McGregor off the significant UFC 200 card in July after “The Notorious” refused to take part in the media obligations to promote UFC 200.

UFC President Dana White said at the UFC 200 press conference at the Madison Square Garden on Wednesday that McGregor knew that he had to do the media obligations in order to fight on the card.

McGregor stated that he needed to concentrate on the craft of fighting after coming off the first loss of his UFC career and opted to train with his team in Iceland instead of flying to the states for the media tour.

White mentioned that they offered to do their best to work with McGregor to cater to his needs.

Now, instead of Conor McGregor taking Nate Diaz on in the headliner of UFC 200, it will be Daniel Cormier and Jon Jones who will fight in the main event for the undisputed UFC light heavyweight title.

McGregor, obviously not happy with the way things played out ridiculed UFC 200 after the Cormier and Jones main event was announced on Wednesday.
