Conor McGregor has just sent fans into hysteria after comments he made at a press conference in Las Vegas yesterday.
The Crumlin native was speaking at a UFC event and admitted that if he was asked to fight Nate this weekend, instead of their planned date in August, he wouldn’t hesitate to say yes.
When asked by a journalist if he’d fight Nate sooner rather than later the Notorious replied, “Im here and I’m in shape – all they’ve got to do is ask.”
Conor and UFC bosses came to blows earlier in the year, after they dropped him from their main event for refusing to take part in their press tour. At the time, Conor revealed he was ready to retire, but now they’ve all reconciled, and Conor’s fight against Nate Diaz has been rescheduled.
However, one person who probably won’t be making up with the UFC bosses as quickly, is Jon Jones. The fighter has been dropped from the UFC’s main event this Saturday after violating anti-doping laws.
Conor’s coach, John Kavanagh was quick off the mark, taking to social media, saying “I wonder if there’s any regret taking him [Conor] off the card over a press conference now?”
President of the UFC, Dana White hastily responded, “Zero.”
One thing’s for sure, we’d love to see the match take place this Saturday!
