Conor McGregor’s Typical Conor McGregor Response To Being Stripped Of UFC Title

Many have suggested McGregor was seeking lightweight contender Khabib Nurmagomedov, who fights featherweight champion Max Holloway for McGregor’s lightweight title in Saturday’s headline scrap.

“Conor McGregor is 100 percent coming back this year”, White said.

The number one star of mixed martial arts invaded UFC 223’s media day on Thursday with his entourage and tore up the venue. “These two (Nurmagomedov and Holloway) are fighting for the belt”.

With no confirmation from the Irishman about a return to the UFC, White finally informed the face of MMA he will be stripped of his title, but McGregor quickly responded. “There was an altercation with some of the departing fighters who are competing on the card”, Helwani wrote on Twitter.

He said: “The only person here who is losing a belt is Conor”.

“They stormed the building, got down to the docks and started to attack the buses”, White said.

UFC 223 features two championship fights, multiple former champions, and some certainty surrounding the UFC Lightweight Championship, but Conor McGregor found a way to make it all about him. If you really want that money fight then you’re probably hurting for money.

“What happened today was criminal, disgusting and makes me sick”, he said.

Wednesday during a pre-fight press conference for UFC 223, UFC president Dana White was quoted as saying it would be great if Conor McGregor was in Brooklyn for the week. After all, this was the fourth time that Ferguson vs. Nurmagomedov had been scheduled and the fourth time it had been canceled due to injury. The UFC assures fans that the unified lightweight title is still on the line, meaning that as of Saturday, Ferguson is no longer the interim champion and McGregor will no longer hold the official lightweight title.

‘There is a warrant out for Conor McGregor’s arrest, ‘ White told reporters.

“I don’t understand”, Nurmagomedov said. It’s possible, but we’ve also seen McGregor take verbal shots at the UFC like this in the past, only to proceed with business as usual. “He will fight this year”.
