    his tweets are promotion in itself, breaks the internet

    gets everyone talking

    can't see UFC giving him leeway, people will say Conor is bigger than the UFC and getting special treatment

    Figured his retirement tweet was bogus. At least this will give him enough attention until his next fight

    But the only way to save the card at this point would require them to give special treatment (GSP) to somebody else so I'm not sure what their next move will be. RR ain't gonna be back in time.

    The next best and somewhat distant option would be DC-Jones 2 but that depends if DC will good to go by than. Nobody else can really headline a card of 200s magnitude with how much they are hyping it up.

    Honestly I'm sure they could come to a compromise that would satisfy both parties if they can push their pride to the side.

    f--- Conor McGregor. He's acting like a diva since he lost. Before the Diaz fight if one of his opponents had said something like this he would have blasted them nonstop.

    I don't watch UFC as much anymore...but ill admit that Ill watch Conor McGregor....he is UFC #1 sell....Dana White is known to be stingy with his fighters and maximize the UFC's bankroll....and his own pockets...he's been known to lose thousands of dollars in Vegas blackjack tables lol...im sure he also wins but not a good look for the main guy of the UFC...gambling on everything

    don't think DC is back till after that

    ball is in UFC's court

    I understand promotion is part of the fight game, its not like he said he won't do it
    just less of it this once

    he's done a crazy amount of promotion so far and done everything asked of him, its not a crazy demand

    If Aldo had asked for this request during the build up to their fight could you imagine what McGregor would have said?

    I don't think DC will be back in time either, even if he is fully healed by than I don't think he'd want any less than a full training camp to prepare for whatever version of Jones we see this Saturday.

    Definitely interesting to see how this plays out.

    Yeah but when has Aldo ever done crazy promotion for anything? Aldo PPVs weren't selling before he got in there with McGregor

    Pretty sure every promotion event they do both fighters have to show up.

    This is a--- backwards. How is wanting to train over promoting, acting like a diva?

    I don't blame him he's going to need all the preperation he can get. It's about time he shut up and got back to business. Dude is an incredible fighter, but a lousy winner/loser.

    Don't believe it till UFC announces it

    Could be a move from Conor

    Hopefully it's the truth though
