- What do you get when you put Conor
McGregor, Nate Diaz and Justin Bieber
together? An interesting moment for
all watching a recent episode of
"Conan" on TBS. The program, hosted
by Conan O'Brien, was featuring Diaz
when McGregor made an appearance
via tape-delayed message.
Where does Bieber fit into all this?
Well, the pop singer made a comment
regarding the first McGregor-Diaz fight
several months back. McGregor and
Diaz will square off once again this
August at UFC 202.
McGregor also "apologized" to O'Brien
for not showing up, adding "As a
present, I sent Nate in my place. I just
hope he's not up on that stage wearing
that stupid black t-shirt he's never out
of."
- Mark Hunt is not the type of
individual to shy away from speaking
his mind. So, as the days go by and we
get further and further away from
Brock Lesnar's failed drug test results
coming back, Hunt isn't going away.
Hunt, who lost via decision to Lesnar at
UFC 200, continued his all-out verbal
assault against the UFC during a recent
appearance on "The MMA Hour."
Lesnar failed both a pre-fight and a
post-fight drug test.
"What upsets me about that is, I'm just
thinking maybe they knew," Hunt said
(thanks to ESPN for transcribing). "Did
they know about this? Is that why
they're not doing anything about it?
Did they give this (expletive) fool an
exemption for four months because
they knew about this? Because surely
if they know about this, they don't give
a rat's about any of us. 'Hey man, we'll
let this juiced up freaking monkey go
in here and fight with this guy.' I mean,
shucks, people say (I) should have a
rematch with him. I wouldn't want to
waste my time with that. He's rubbish."
Since his interview, Hunt has spoken to
a member of the UFC's board. Lesnar
was the third fighter he has faced off
against that failed a drug test, as
Antonio Silva and Frank Mir were also
flagged. Hunt won both of those fights.

Joe Rogan re-ups with UFC for another year ... with a catch
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC)
color commentator Joe Rogan, despite
his insistence that a change in
ownership would result in a change of
jobs
, will be sticking around the world's
preeminent mixed martial arts (MMA)
promotion for at least another year.
The catch?
A reduced schedule (his choice) has
relegated his current role to pay-per-
view (PPV) only, which means
opportunities for existing "Fight Night"
commentator and former fighter Brian
Stann
, or perhaps fellow talkers Kenny
Florian and Dan Hardy, among others.
"I was on the fence, man," Rogan said
on his official podcast. "I just do too
much shit. I'm too fucking busy. After a
while I'm like, I don't know if I'm doing
myself or all the different things I do a
disservice. I was real close. It was like,
either I'm just gonna completely bail
off of this or I'm gonna figure it out."
Rogan, a successful comic and
podcaster, has been with UFC since
1997.
UFC was acquired by WME | IMG earlier
this year for $4.2 billion, which not
surprisingly, initiated dialogue about
who would stay and who would go.
Part of that deal has UFC CEO Lorenzo
Fertitta stepping down, while
promotion president Dana White is
contracted to hang around for another
five years
.
These could be the last 12 months of
Rogan's UFC career, enjoy them while
you can.
