If UFC folds then it's sets a precedent for future stars to do the same , short term gain $$$ Long term disaster .. Let's see what happens

Dear, Conor, I am willing to put on my best Irish accent and do all your press obligations so you can train. Your pal, Elias. #UFC200

How can you not respect this guy? Plays the game better than everyone but shows his real self when you feels needed. https://t.co/hWV7LM0LEG

UFC played their cards wrong. They look like idiots under all outcomes now.

Every hand is a winner and every hand is a loser. It's about how well you can bluff. McGregor taking the UFC to school right now

This situation isn't likely about press it's about $$$$! Now UFC has to cater to al of Conor's unsaid demands or look like petty bastards.

The more @TheNotoriousMMA does his Conor thing the more I love him. His business savvy and dedication to the sport is remarkable. #UFC200
