Conor McGregor scared us all with the retirement talk earlier in April and there was at least one person unhappy about it. McGregor's would-be opponent in UFC 200, Nate Diaz. McGregor claimed he was back on the card for the event and said as much in a NSFW rant on his Instagram:

Sounds like some seriously harsh words for Dana White and UFC. The fight was called off after McGregor threatened not to fulfill his contract by not promoting the fight.
Diaz said he would be going "on vacation" last week because he wanted to only fight McGregor. White said he would let Diaz take another bout if he wanted it, but the headliner for UFC 200 is set to be Jon Jones vs Daniel Cormier.
Ronda Rousey was also expected to fight at UFC 200, but she is not nearly ready to get back in the ring yet. This was supposed to be one of the biggest events in the history of UFC, but it looks like Dana White is struggling to find some of the big name fighters he was hoping to have available for the event in Las Vegas this summer.
