McGregor saved UFC 189, fought Mendes on short notice. McGregor saved UFC 196, McGregor did TUF right after a grueling media tour and has made UFC hundreds of millions. UFC 189, 194, 196 were all top 10 selling PPVs.
He does more media duties than anyone, tv shows and talk show appearances, goes beyond the call of duty to give to the UFC and the sport.
He asks for a little leeway in media touring and gets thrown under the bus by the UFC. He didn't pull a Nick Diaz and go AWOL. It actually seemed like McGregor tried to talk it out with the UFC and have some kind of dialogue ... but, the UFC didn't care and cut him from the card.
This should be a wake up call for EVERY fighter. No matter how much money you make for the UFC, no matter how much you tow the line and be a goody two shoes "company guy" .... The UFC doesn't care.
When you consider how many fighters drop out from cards without any kind of remorse or care for the impact on the UFC, or the fans ... Aldo, Bones to name a few ... It's a joke.
