While the main event for UFC 200 has been filled, Conor McGregor has not yet given up hope about being reinstated to the organisations biggest card.
The circus that has surrounded McGregor thus far has gone from a faux-retirement to a lengthy statement regarding his withdrawal from the event.
The featherweight champion took to Twitter this afternoon in an attempt to drum up some momentum for his return to the card and insists Diaz v McGregor is the only fight people want to see.
I love it! Adapt and overcome.
I am coming in light and lean for my rematch and I will school this boy to the bell. https://t.co/MjEwxokIYK— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) May 2, 2016
No. Last time I was eating four breakfasts and a dessert on the day of weigh in.
You will see.
You will all see. https://t.co/zfhFLEqEcA— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) May 2, 2016
On the floor he was swept and controlled.
When the tank goes, no amount of skill can save you.

I respect the endurance athlete. A game of will.
But those who simply take part, will always be taken over. https://t.co/bysnazDaAT— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) May 2, 2016
He has made more excuses for the first 8 minutes of our fight than I have made for the last 2 minutes of our fight. https://t.co/pukpqnF1YJ

He continued to point out his value to the organisation and that his efforts in promoting fights have been hugely profitable to the company.
It is not safe to say. It is fact to say.
I hold PPV, Gate, TV, Fightpass and Embedded record.
Even Title fight KO. https://t.co/nqwoQSap9A— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) May 2, 2016
