Conor McGregor announced today he’s coming out of retirement and is available to do one press conference for UFC 200 and will fight Nate Diaz in a rematch to see if the UFC 196 result was a fluke.
McGregor’s coming out of retirement statement posted on Facebook is a piece of art. It’s not some bullshit conjured up by a PR team and then placed onto the Players Tribune for media suckers to lick up. It’s written how you and I talk. It’s the best sportswriting I’ve seen in years and I’m telling you right now, this guy would be one helluva blogger.

Are you kidding me with that Tim and Suzie paragraph? That might be one of the most on-point statements I’ve ever read in my life. McGregor just nailed U.S. local media to a T right there. Brilliant, brilliant work out of this man who is making Dana White insane money so he can eat the good shit at dinner.
Is there anything more to say here? Looks like we have a fight at 200. No more games.
Ok no more games.
I am going to release a statement shortly.— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) April 21, 2016
Update: The UFC says 200 is off. No Diaz-McGregor.
