Morning Report: Following Twitter feud with Khabib Nurmagomedov, Conor McGregor announces his return to the UFC

Conor McGregor has been dominating the headlines lately. Last week, McGregor announced, via Twitter, that he had decided to retire from MMA. Most people didn’t believe the retirement would stick - few do in MMA - and not too long afterwards, the reason for McGregor’s retirement became apparent: McGregor was pushing for equity in the UFC and Dana White was refusing to budge. Things appeared to be at a stalemate, and then all hell broke loose.

This week, McGregor’s teammate Artem Lobov got slapped by Paulie Malignaggi at a media event.
