Find me someone who looks like that and bring her to the next meet up and you will be forgiven.

This came up on Facebook today from the offical Connor McGregor page,

Conor McGregor
11 hrs ·

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.
There comes a time when you need to stop handing out flyers and get back to the damn shop.
50 world tours, 200 press conferences, 1 million interviews, 2 million photo shoots, and at the end of it all I'm left looking down the barrel of a lens, staring defeat in the face, thinking of nothing but my incorrect fight preparation. And the many distractions that led to this.
Nothing else was going through my mind.
It is time to go back and live the life that got me this life.
Sitting in a car on the way to some dump in Conneticut or somewhere, to speak to Tim and Suzie on the nobody gives a fuck morning show did not get me this life.
Talking to some lady that deep down doesn't give a fuck about what I'm doing, but just wants some sound bites so she can maybe get her little tight ass a nice raise, and I'm cool with that too, I've been giving you all raises. But I need to focus on me now.
I'm coming for my revenge here.
I flew an entire team to Portugal and to Iceland to make my adjustments in preparation and fix my errors I made with the weight and the cardio prep.
With the right adjustments and the right focus, I will finish what I started in that last fight.
I will not do this if I am back on the road handing out flyers again.
I will always play the game and play it better than anybody, but just for this one, where I am coming off a loss, I asked for some leeway where I can just train and focus. I did not shut down all media requests. I simply wanted a slight adjustment.
But it was denied.
There had been 10 million dollars allocated for the promotion of this event is what they told me.
So as a gesture of good will, I went and not only saved that 10 million dollars in promotion money, I then went and tripled it for them.
And all with one tweet.
Keep that 10 mill to promote the other bums that need it. My shows are good.
I must isolate myself now.
I am facing a taller, longer and heavier man. I need to prepare correctly this time.
I can not dance for you this time.
It is time for the other monkeys to dance. I've danced us all the way here.
Nate's little mush head looks good up on that stage these days. Stuff him in front of the camera for it.
He came in with no shit to do that last one. I'd already done press conferences, interviews and shot the ads before RDA pulled out.
Maybe I'll hit Cabo this time and skull some shots pre-fight with no obligation.
I'm doing what I need for me now.
It is time to be selfish with my training again. It is the only way.
I feel the $400million I have generated for the company in my last three events, all inside 8 months, is enough to get me this slight leeway.
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.
For the record also -
For USADA and for the UFC and my contract stipulations -
I AM NOT RETIRED.

he came out of retirement quicker than i expected but i was on the right track... i can totally understand where hes coming from and i mentioned it in my earlier post about how he was on the hype train and it came to a crash due to that last fight, he is doing the right thing and staying away from they hype train this time, fair play to him, and the UFC obviously gained money from his retirement stunt which i knew someone would profit lol

roll on his next fight, i hate boxing politics and im glad hes standing up for what he believes

Yeah, I actually agree with his standpoint here. He was all promotion last time and he got his ass handed to him. He knows he is fighting a much bigger fighter again and wants to train accordingly for it.

Unfortunately, with any sport these days the build up and press conferences are just as much of the sport as the match / fight itself and if he wants to stay on top he needs to find a way to do both.

It will be interesting how the UFC respond to this. I have not seen anything come out yet but it looks like McGregor v Diaz 2 at UFC 200 will go on, as Dana White said if McGregor cleared the air than he will be allowed back into the main event (UFC doesn't really have an option here as they have a lot of injured stars and no one has the pulling power or McGregor for these massive events).
