UFC fans who were worried that the biggest event in the history's promotion would not feature Conor McGregor can breathe easily again.
The UFC featherweight champion retired last week, then unretired, then was told on Friday he wasn't going to fight Nate Diaz on July 9th, and once again the scenario has changed this morning.
