Conor McGregor is no longer headlining UFC 200, but the brash Irishman continues to dominate the build-up to the event. Jon Jones rematch with Daniel Cormier for the light heavyweight title was officially announced as the new main event on Wednesday, with a press conference to promote the event taking place at Madison Square Garden later in the day. McGregor was absent from the stage after being pulled from the card over his failure to fulfil media obligations but beleaguered UFC president Dana White was nonetheless forced to field multiple questions about the featherweight champion. Conor McGregor is not pleased about being pulled from UFC 200 White maintains McGregor has only himself to blame for the cancellation of his much-anticipated rematch with Nate Diaz.I didnt prevent Conor from fighting at UFC 200, White said. Everybody, if you look at [last weeks] news conference... Joanna Jedrzejczyk came in from Poland. Claudia Gadelha came in from Brazil. This is what we do. This is how it works.I didnt prevent him from fighting at UFC 200. He knew what the deal was. I told him what the deal was. He opted to do that. UFC president Dana White stands between Daniel Cormier (L) and Jon Jones as they square off during media availability for UFC 200 White sidestepped a question about how much of a financial loss the UFC would take for their decision to withdraw their star attraction and confirmed the company has no plans to lower the price of UFC 200 tickets.McGregors withdrawal has been met with disapproval by a large proportion of UFC fans and White has been acutely aware of that fact on social media by the Irishmans legions of supporters.An indication of the McGregors popularity is illustrated by the amount of people who tuned in to watch a live stream of the press conference for his fight with Diaz in February. That achieved a peak audience of over 360,000, while Wednesdays event topped out at just over 33,000.

DALLAS -- Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed said doctors told him he probably wouldnt be able to keep playing. But Reed knew the difference he could make in the game, and despite having an AC joint separation in his shoulder, he decided to return.Reed suffered the injury early in the second quarter of Washingtons 31-26 loss to the Dallas Cowboys?on Thursday, falling hard on his left shoulder after jumping for a pass in the end zone that he couldnt catch. He missed the rest of the quarter and was told at halftime that he probably wouldnt be able to return.But after catching passes before the second half began from backup quarterback Colt McCoy -- both high and low throws -- Reed felt he could still play.I didnt think hed come back in, but he came back in and made gigantic plays for us, Redskins coach Jay Gruden said.Its pretty severe pain, Reed said. I noticed it the whole time. I just kind of grinded it out and kept praying. I was able to fight through it.The pain was evident on Reeds face as he tried to dress after the game, with his shoulder slightly disfigured from the injury and his eyes watering at times because of the pain. But Reed managed to catch a game-high 10 passes for 95 yards and two touchdowns -- with eight catches, 80 yards and both scores coming after the injury.dddddddddddd He made a diving, one-handed 33-yard reception that set up one touchdown.I know it was pretty painful for him, Redskins tight end Vernon Davis said. When I walked in after the game, he was in so much pain I could feel it. For him to come out there and play the way he did ... it was amazing, it was beautiful.Reed has a history of getting hurt. He hasnt played a full 16-game season in his career. He missed 12 games combined his first two seasons and two more last year. Hes already missed two games because of injuries this season. But what happened Thursday might have kept Reed out in his first or second year.It has a lot to do with my maturity, said Reed, who has caught a team-best 59 passes this season with five touchdowns. Ive grown in how my teammates look at me and the faith they have in me that I could come through in certain situations. When Im not out there, I feel like Im letting them down. I dont like to miss time. ' ' '
