Update: TMZ are reporting that they have spoken with UFC President Dana White and that Conor McGregor is not back on UFC 200

ESPN’s Brett Okamoto tweeted the UFC’s response:

Conor McGregor tweeted moments ago saying that he is back on UFC 200 presumably against Nate Diaz.

“Happy to announce that I am BACK on UFC 200! Shout out to Dana White and Lorenzo Fertitta on getting this one done for the fans. #Respect” – McGregor

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

Although UFC president Dana White repeatedly ruled out McGregor getting back on the card at the ticket sale Press Conference last week, many fans and media still felt that the door was still open and unless we are in the midst of more Twitter games between McGregor and UFC brass then this seemingly has proven that theory correct, although the UFC have yet to confirm the news.

Reached out to UFC officials on Conor's tweet. Nothing back yet.
