Conor McGregor responds to being called out at the UFC 200 press event

The Irishman was watching the stream like everybody else it seems.

The situation between Conor McGregor and the UFC may have reached Defcon 1 after the Friday night press conference in Las Vegas.

Dana White was on stage and he addressed the biggest issue facing the promotion from the off, claiming that the people on stage had flown across the world to do the promotion for UFC 200, but Conor McGregor was not bothered.

“I just don’t see how that’s fair. It’s just part of the deal. These guys came.

“You think I don’t want Conor to fight? Of course, I do. It’s just not right.”

However, McGregor responded to the statement with a sharp Twitter message of his own.

The tweet was put to Nate Diaz and he just had a few words to respond to the claim from McGregor.
