导出博客文章Conor McGregor has revealed he will now fight at UFC 200 in July after
originally withdrawing from the event. McGregor announced his retirement from
MMA when he pulled out but has since retracted that, saying his earlier
announcement had been provoked by the amount of promotional work he had been
forced to do for previous fights. Who is UFCs real No 1? Jon Jones and
Demetrious Johnson are at the pinnacle of the pound-for-pound list, but who is
better? The Irishman had been due to have a rematch with Nate Diaz on the July 9
card in Las Vegas. However, it now appears he will be on the UFC 200 card after
he posted on Twitter: Happy to announce that I am BACK on UFC 200! Shout out to
@danawhite [Dana White, UFC president] and @lorenzofertitta [Lorenzo Feritta,
UFC chairman] on getting this one done for the fans. #Respect.White had
commented last week that McGregors reluctance to do the promotional work for UFC
200 made it unlikely he would feature at the event, but it appears a compromise
has now been reached.There has been no official confirmation from UFC of
McGregors return. Breaking down McGregor We talk to those who know him, to find

in Las Vegas and lure the Raiders from Oakland crossed a major hurdle Thursday
when a Nevada oversight committee voted unanimously to recommend $750 million in
public funding for the project.The Southern Nevada Tourism Infrastructure
Committee recommended raising the hotel tax in the Las Vegas area to help pay
for a 65,000-seat domed venue that was promoted and would be partially financed
by billionaire casino mogul Sheldon Adelson. Proponents still need to win over
the governor, the Legislature and three-quarters of NFL owners to make the
project a reality, but its a significant milestone for a city thats never had a
professional football team and has been hammering out the particulars of the
Raiders deal for months.We get an NFL team, and that is a significant step
forward for Las Vegas and the community, committee chairman Steve Hill said
about the projects potential. Those teams bring the community together. Were
going to have people wearing Raiders jerseys and high-fiving each other ...
Thats not something you can put a number on.The Adelson family plans to put $650
million toward the stadium, which would also be home to UNLV Football, while the
Raiders plan to kick in $500 million. Officials with the Las Vegas Sands,
Adelsons company, said they dont want to return any profits to the public
because theyd be making little or no money on the stadium. Theyre also
committing to fund construction cost overruns and infrastructure improvements at
the yet-undetermined site.Sands representative Andy Abboud said the Adelsons
were in China to open a $2.9 billion Parisian Macao casino and probably asleep
when the vote came, but he texted them the news and said theyll be excited.I
never dreamed of or hoped for a unanimous vote, Abboud said. But a unanimous
vote, I think, sends a very strong signal to the Legislature.Opponents question
whether its appropriate to put public dollars toward a project spearheaded by
one of the richest men in the world. Theyre also wary of the bonds used to
finance the project, which could put taxpayers on the hook to cover stadium debt
in a downturn.ddddddddddddHill said the deals structure would shield taxpayers
even in a recession as deep as the most recent one, when hotel tax revenues fell
33 percent. He also addressed arguments that tax hikes should prioritize Nevadas
bottom-ranking public school system.Im not going to argue that a room tax
couldnt be used for other things, Hill said, noting that the increase will
mostly affect tourists, not locals. I will say this is an entirely, very
appropriate use for room tax.Stadium proponents drove a hard bargain with the
committee, which included casino leaders and elected officials. The Las Vegas
Sands said theyd walk away from negotiations if the public put in less than $750
million, and the company fought to protect themselves from any future taxes
targeting the team.Public pressure mounted, too. Union members wearing Raiders
gear held tailgate parties outside the committees meetings, and cheerleaders in
silver and black flanked the entrances to the meeting on Thursday. Electronic
billboards along the interstate urged people to hold politicians accountable on
the stadium deal and recommended the hashtag Dont Screw This Up NV.It was
unclear when Republican Gov. Brian Sandoval might call lawmakers into special
session to consider the deal, although proponents want it as soon as possible so
they can pitch the deal to NFL owners ahead of their January meeting and
potential team relocation vote.I will not move forward until all questions have
been resolved, he said. I am hopeful the work completed by this committee will
serve as a roadmap to Southern Nevadas unrivaled and continued success.Oakland
Mayor Libby Schaaf, meanwhile, said her city is neither rolling over, nor giving
up and continues work on a deal with the team.Now is the time for everyone in
our region to pull together to show the NFL and the Raiders that their future is
in Oakland, she said. ' ' '
