White's the best commissioner and promoter in all of sports, if he says jump, you say how high.
the underlying problem here is that McGregor, the UFC’s biggest star, didn’t want to fulfill some bullshit contractual obligations at the precise time and place White wanted them fulfilled; White, channeling all the fury of a fed-up OfficeMax manager, told McGregor to piss off, leading McGregor to (presumably) smirk and say, “Okay, Uncle Fester, you want to pull your biggest star from what you would like to be your biggest-ever fight card over him wanting a stupid presser delayed by a couple of weeks? Fine, let’s see who’s bluffing.”

Don't follow the sport at all so interested to hear takes.
I am just trying to do my job and fight here.
I am paid to fight. I am not yet paid to promote.
I have become lost in the game of promotion and forgot about the art of fighting.
There comes a time when you need to stop handing out flyers and get back to the damn shop.
50 world tours, 200 press conferences, 1 million interviews, 2 million photo shoots, and at the end of it all I’m left looking down the barrel of a lens, staring defeat in the face, thinking of nothing but my incorrect fight preparation. And the many distractions that led to this.
Nothing else was going through my mind.
For the record also -
For USADA and for the UFC and my contract stipulations -
I AM NOT RETIRED.
This. Has anyone been talking about UFC 197, which happens tonight and features the return of Jon Jones, this week? No, they've all be talking about UFC 200 and Conor McGregor v Nate Diaz.IrishNW":1fd9xdsa said:Connor and Nate just promoted this fight more then a press conference ever could. This fight will happen.
