Checkout the article i wrote about the entire situation here – http://www.theroar.com.au/2016/04/25/mystery-ufc-200-conor-mcgregor/
Hopefully that provides you with a bit more info!
Conor McGregor, don't take your fans for granted
Yes, i completely understand what you are getting at.
It is pretty much confirmed that he won’t fight at UFC 200 but will no doubt remain a UFC fighter and fight sometime thereafter. Dana White suggested that he could fight at UFC 202 or 203.
If he fights at 202 or 203 the media obligations would most likely be significantly less, as UFC 200 is a lot different.
But, if you are correct and no deal can be agreed to i’d love to see McGregor box. This is highly unlikely though and i can’t see any possibility that McGregor doesn’t fight under the UFC banner.
Conor McGregor, don't take your fans for granted
Agree with most of the stuff you said, but totally disagree with your ‘Quick Tap’ taunt. McGregor was done, so it was smart of him to tap instead of risking his health. Diaz said it himself.
UFC rushing the Diaz-McGregor rematch is major gamble
You make a good point with Kimbo, that guy sucks, and he has incredible numbers. I agree that McGregor will probably still have the star power his entire career, as he could always threaten to move back down to 145 and everyone knows what he has done there.
UFC rushing the Diaz-McGregor rematch is major gamble
I really hope the UFC doesn’t go down this path with a rematch at UFC 200. I think putting Diaz and McGregor on 200, which virtually almost sells itself, puts to waste another opportunity down the line to have them on another card so their are 2 big pay-per-views instead of the 1. I think Conor should fight Frankie, and then have Lawler V Woodleyor Dos Anjos V Alvarez as the co-main. From their you could have the reported Velasquez v Browne bout and the Gegard Mousasi vs Derek Brunson bout. Imagine Dos Anjos and McGregor going at it at the press conference even though they aren’t fighting one and other!

Couldn’t have said it better myself…
Australia are as uninspiring as their new uniforms
What’s wrong with public transport? Driving to the G is silly.

My Australian XI for the first Test in Brisbane
Just see and wait about the Watson LBW statement…
My Australian XI for the first Test in Brisbane
Although i am a Hawthorn supporter, i find it hard to believe you view Geelong and Fremantle as better chances. Fremantle are no where near as good as Hawthorn
Swans? Cats? Hawks? Who is gonna win the flag?
Stan is destroying him!!!!! This is superb, fantastic and brilliant!!! C’mon Stan. (I find Nadal boring to watch) anyway lets go Stan

At the MCG, kids are $5 or $7 for kids depending on where you sit, but im not sure for other grounds. If you r looking for another grounds prices, just search it up (example: search – WACA Big Bash League Ticket prices)

Hussey made 2 or 3 double tons in England playing for Northamptonshire. That is a pretty fine effort.
Why Mr Cricket should be remembered as one of the greats
Although i would love to think that Australia could challenge South Africa. But realisticly i think Australia have a few too many problems. If they can elimate a few of these problems, then i think Australia could have a good crack at beating South Africa, but at this stage, I don’t think Australia is good enough.
Dark side of the Ashes win
If you gave me a choice of T20, ODIs or Tests, I would choose tests in a heartbeat. I seem to be one of the only people who loves every part of watching test cricket. I get annoyed when people say Test cricket is boring because I find It exciting and interesting. Who doesn’t like watching Ryan Harris and Mitchell Johnson bowl to Alistair Cook and Kevin Pietersen? Test cricket is the best in my opinion.
Why are we still watching Test cricket?
Yes your are right!, Lee travels with the Stars to every game and even shakes hands with the opposition after the match.

agreed, i loved your analysis of the mechanics of the fight rather than the dribble in the Herald Sun about the ‘vile brutality’ and ‘bloodythursty fans’. Very refreshing!
