McGregor itinanggi ang pagreretiro
MANILA, Philippines - Nilinaw ni UFC featherweight champion Connor McGregor na wala pa sa plano nito ang pagreretiro.
Inilabas ni McGregor ang statement sa kanyang Facebook account kung saan sinabi nitong “For the record also - For USADA and for the UFC and my contract stipulations - I am not retired.”
Taliwas ito sa unang lumabas sa kanyang Twittter account na @TheNotoriousMMA na nagsasabing “I have decided to retire young. Thanks for the chees. Cartch ya’s later.”Naglabas ng sama ng loob si McGregor matapos itong alisin ng UFC sa gaganaping UFC 200 sa Hulyo 9 (Hulyo 10 sa Maynila) sa Las Vegas, Nevada.
Idinahilan ng UFC ang desisyon nang magdeklara si McGregor na hindi ito sasama sa anumang promotional event para sa naturang laban.
“I am just trying to do my job and fight here. I am paid to fight. I am not yet paid to promote. I have become lost in the game of promotion and forgot about the art of fighting,” ani McGregor.
Idineklara rin ni McGregor na handa itong harapin si Nate Diaz sa UFC 200 sa Hulyo.
“I am still ready to go for UFC 200. I will offer, like I already did, to fly to New York for the big press conference that was scheduled, and then I will go back into training. With no distractions. If this is not enough or they feel I have not deserved to sit this promotion run out this one time, well then I don’t know what to say,” dagdag pa ni McGregor.
Sa ngayon, pinal na ang desisyon ng UFC na alisin si McGregor sa UFC 200 kung saan masisilayan ang bakbakan nina Jose Aldo at Frankie Edgar para sa interim featherweight title at nina defending UFC women’s bantamweight champion Miesha Tate at Amanda Nunes.
