UFC fans can rejoice as Conor McGregor has announced his return to the octagon.
The news comes after the sports star made a shock statement last week that he was retiring from the fight game.
The Dubliner took to his Twitter to confirm the news this morning about UFC200.
Happy to announce that I am BACK on UFC 200!
Shout out to @danawhite and @lorenzofertitta on getting this one done for the fans. #Respect— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) April 25, 2016
“Happy to announce that I am BACK on UFC 200! Shout out to @danawhite and @lorenzofertitta on getting this one done for the fans. #Respect,” he wrote.
The Crumlin native previously taken off the bill –Â after he refused to travel to Las Vegas for promotional duties.
At a press conference on Friday night, UFC boss Dana White denied that the MMA star would be appearing on the card – however it seems that has all changed now.
