100% agree. It's all negotiation tactics. If McGregor is actually retired, why not announce the interim fight is for the real belt? They'll come to terms eventually and McGregor will defend his belt likely. It's doubtful he gets back on the card at 200 though.I'm waiting for UFC to re-announce the Diaz/McGruber fight and keeping things as is. If he were truly retired, he would've been stripped and Dana would've jumped on Fox and called McGregor the biggest loser they've ever had. Negotiations in place.
It will be telling how Dana says it..if he is fairly calm, it means Conor will come back and fight Frankie or Aldo maybe at MSG. Could have been the plan all along. Save him from Nate.Probably at the press conference coming up Dana will announce he has been stripped of the title
This. Dana was just on Fox Sports 1...missed it.. just saw last couple minutes.. nothing said reallyI'm waiting for UFC to re-announce the Diaz/McGruber fight and keeping things as is.

Yeah very true, his body language will tell a lot. If he starts swearing and getting red face then we know.It will be telling how Dana says it..if he is fairly calm, it means Conor will come back and fight Frankie or Aldo maybe at MSG. Could have been the plan all along. Save him from Nate.
