When Conor McGregor announced his retirement from MMA on Twitter, there were many theories as to why the featherweight champion decided to step away from the sport so young.
UFC President Dana White then appeared on SportsCenter to announce that McGregor had been pulled from UFC 200 after refusing to fulfill his media obligations for the July 9th event.
Sports Journalist Charly Arnolt revealed via Twitter that McGregor was demanding an insane amount of money for the event.
