He's said he's not retired, he's just tired of doing all the PR.

He is fucked then. PR is a huge part of it, and Dana has said, if you wont do press stuff, you wont be in the UFC.

Aye, because they're going to cut him :lol: And he offered to do the press conference in New York, so its not as if he didn't want to do any at all. Just didn't want to interrupt his training camp on the other side of the world for a week.

Or he's got word that he'll be piss tested and made a big scene to avoid going.  It was hardly going to interrupt his training that much considering UFC were going to fly out all his equipment etc and set it up exactly the way it is currently.

If you think they wont cut him then IMO you are wrong.  No one is bigger than the company mate.  If he won't do the work, they will get rid of him imo.

 

They have got rid of huge names before.

 

As for his training camp, the event is still a while away, it wouldn't have been that much of an interuption, and he will have known about it well in advance.

He's passed every random test he's ever done with no issues so I don't believe that tbh.

He could have been using substances such as test suspension which is out your system rapid before, might have thought he wouldn't need to go this presser and used a longer chain testosterone ester which is still circulating in his system. The way I see it most of these fighters will be on some form of gear, McGregor is no exception.

That's the problem though. UFC will punish anyone who threatens to become bigger than them or challenges their power in any way.

Only way they decide to cut McGregor is if they decide they hate money. He's far too big of a draw to let go. 

 The event being 3 months away just makes their stance even more baffling tbh. McGregor has done enough for the UFC to earn a little leeway and get a compromise (doing the NY presser). 

Theyre cutting off their nose to spite their face and alienating their biggest star. UFC 200 won't do nearly as well as it would have.

Maybe, but UFC fighters have to give USADA their whereabouts at all times so they could randomly test him whenever or wherever.

True, but they're defo on gear :lol: You're mental if you think the UFC is a clean sport even with USADA testing. No sport is clean and that's just a fact. The quicker they let athletes use performance enhancing drugs the better.

I didn't say it was a clean sport! But they're catching more guys than they used to.

Aye the retards that can't pass a drugs test :D I watched a video a wee while back that gave a complete run down on how to pass a stringent drugs test. Got taken down from Youtube unfortunately.

Mighty Mouse is one of the best,  so fast, so accurate.

 

That guy was no mug that he fought, and he made him look like a bitch.   Probably the best pound for pound active fighter right now and one of the best ever IMO.
