[QUOTE="TRF_Olyy, post: 794822, member: 34990"] Conor officially pulled from UFC 200. Dana White said Conor refused to fly to America for a press conference, so they pulled him. Biggest name. From their biggest PPV. Sure, Dana. We really believe that The most popular theories seem to be: 1) Doesn't want to risk fighting/is shook up from the recent death 2) Knows he's going to pop for PEDs. USADA and Nevada State, apparently, can't comment on non-active fighters, so if he ****** hot today then an instant retirement keeps his rep intact 3) Knee injury. Knows he's going to be out a while so just calling it quits. Knows it'll take time to get back to where he was so will just step away from it and see where he is when he's 100%, with no pressure. 4) Going rogue. He wants money, straight up. Maybe Bellator have found some spare cash? GSP isn't exactly running back to the UFC, due to their Reebok deal. Give it till the end of the year then sell a Conor vs GSP super fight? Unlikely, but who ****ing knows. Who'd have guessed Conor would've just dropped out of the UFC with a tweet? [/QUOTE]
