My Mom\u2019s Basement.<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>\u201cHe doesn\u2019t have a fight this year, and he won\u2019t have a fight this year. Conor McGregor will not fight in 2020.<\/p>\n\u201cI\u2019m not saying he won\u2019t fight in 2021, but I\u2019m telling you we don\u2019t have a fight planned for him in 2021. But I guarantee you he will not fight in 2020. Conor McGregor is retired.”<\/p>\n
The Irishman retired for the third time in four years in June. White isn’t contractually obligated to offer him any fights and doesn’t know what’s in store for 2021. He also shut down possible rumoured fights for McGregor such as a crossover bout with Manny Pacquiao<\/p>\n
\u201cDo we all believe he\u2019ll stay retired?\u201d White asked. \u201cI think most of us don\u2019t believe that he\u2019ll remain retired, but let me put it to you this way: I owe fighters that are under contract with me three fights a year. OK? If I don\u2019t deliver those three fights a year, I have to pay them. Conor McGregor is retired, whether people want to believe it or not.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is not fighting right now, so when he\u2019s not fighting, I don\u2019t even think about him or what he\u2019s doing or any of that stuff on a business level. I\u2019ll still shoot him a text personally, but on a business level, he\u2019s out of the mix. He\u2019s not fighting at all. So everybody keeps asking questions about him, and I\u2019m like, \u2018Manny Pacquiao? What the f-ck are you talking about?\u201d<\/p>\n
McGregor’s former opponent, Diaz, is not impressed with the constant back and forth relating to his retirement. He let his feelings be known on Twitter, but has since deleted his Tweet.<\/p>\n
“Sit your ass down till 2021,” Diaz wrote.<\/p>\n
Nate Diaz hasn’t fought since 2019 when he fought Jorge Masvidal at UFC 244 for the “BMF” belt. Despite the hype around their eagerly anticipated matchup, their fight came to an anti-climactic end in the third round when the doctor stopped the fight due to the cuts Diaz sustained in the earlier frames.<\/p>\n
Diaz’s two previous fights against Conor McGregor are fan favourites, and a trilogy fight between the two could be one of the biggest blockbuster bouts in history. However, it’s not clear if Diaz is interested in pursuing a trilogy fight against McGregor, or whether he just wants to call him out for his retirement games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
