It looks like Conor McGregor and Dana White have different opinions regarding McGregor’s status for the upcoming UFC 200 event in July.

McGregor tweeted on Sunday evening that he was back on the UFC 200 card, thanking White and UFC CEO Lorenzo Fertitta for coming through for the fans.

According to the UFC President, however, that is simply not true. White recently spoke with the Los Angeles Times website about McGregor’s claim that he is back on the UFC 200 lineup.

White informed the L.A. Times website via text message that McGregor’s tweet is “not true.”

White added, “We haven’t talked [to] Conor or his manager since the press conference. I don’t know why he would tweet that.”

UFC 200 is scheduled for Saturday, July 9, 2016 at the brand new T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
