Conor McGregor, UFC featherweight champion has been pulled from his headline rematch against Nate Diaz at UFC 200 on July 9. Last month, Diaz became the first man to beat McGregor in UFC. The American, 31, beat McGregor by choking the featherweight champion into submission.
Dana White, the president of UFC announced the news on ESPN on Tuesday, citing the Irishman's unwillingness to come to Las Vegas later this week to promote the landmark event for the company.
"We pulled Conor McGregor from UFC 200 and we're working on other fights right now," White said.
In a tweet posted on Tuesday, McGregor wrote: "I have decided to retire young. Thanks for the cheese. Catch ya's later."
