Dana White says that Conor McGregor has been pulled from the UFC 200 fight card — claiming that the Irish superstar refused to fly to Vegas to promote the event.

McGregor tweeted about retiring earlier today which could possibly be a reaction to whatever conversation regarding promotions was had with Dana behind the scenes.

White announced on ESPN’s SportsCenter that McGregor has been pulled from the marquee card because he refused to attend a press conference this week in Las Vegas to promote it. The news comes on the heels from a cryptic tweet about retiring young from McGregor earlier Tuesday.

“Obviously we still have a good relationship with Conor,” White said. “I respect Conor as a fighter and I like him as a person. But you can’t decide not to show up to these things. You have to do it.”

The UFC has issued a statement confirming Conor is out of UFC 200 — no word on his replacement yet.
