It has yet to be confirmed whether this is legitimate or just a stunt to get media attention back on him (as if it ever left), but Dana White has confirmed that UFC 200 is not going ahead with McGregor.

I would rather they cancel the luas forever than see Conor McGregor retire from MMA

Has Roddy Doyle done an ode to @TheNotoriousMMA yet? The internet would explode beyond possible repair if that landed.
