Conor McGregor Limps Into Vegas Pool Party
Like Conor McGregor was gonna miss a victory party?
Here's video of The Notorious heading into Encore Beach Club at the Wynn on Sunday -- one day after beating Nate Diaz in one of the craziest UFC fights we've ever seen.
Conor didn't look too bruised up ... but he did enter the party with a pretty obvious limp.
McGregor insists he did NOT break his foot -- but banged up his shin during repeated strikes to Diaz during the UFC 202 fight.
Still, he didn't let the pain keep from partying with all the bikini-clad chicks at the club!
Congrats!

UFC Prez Dana White Nixes McGregor & Diaz Trilogy ... 'I'm Movin' On'
It's as shocking as Saturday night's fight was awesome ... there will be no Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz trilogy ... according to the man who makes the decision.
Dana White tells TMZ Sports he wants Conor to defend his title against interim champ Jose Aldo. Dana says, "The war was fun and super successful but I'm movin' on." Here's the rub -- Conor beefed up for his fight against the much larger Diaz. Conor normally fights at 145 and swelled to 168 to fight Diaz.
Dana says Conor has two options -- either fight Aldo or surrender his title to him -- or cut weight to 155 and fight Eddie Alvarez for the lightweight title.
Dana says under any scenario, he's closing the books on McGregor vs. Diaz.

Dana White I Don't Believe Jon Jones Used 'Roids
Jon Jones is ALMOST out of Dana White's doghouse ... with the UFC honcho telling TMZ Sports he doesn't believe the ex-champ was using steroids ... but he did take SOMETHING he shouldn't have.
White joined the guys on the "TMZ Sports" TV show (weeknights on FS1) -- and spelled out the latest with Jones and the failed drug tests that got him kicked off the card at UFC 200.
"He was accused of taking the drug that you take when you're getting off steroids ... and it's looking now like it's not the case. He did not take that drug. He took something else that had it in it."
White says he's not as pissed off at Jones as he was in the wake of the failed test -- but he's still upset.
"I'm a little happier now that he wasn't taking that drug and that I now believe that he wasn't taking steroids ... but still, you can't put anything in your body without notifying USADA or the Nevada State Athletic Commission."

Andre Berto is giving Conor McGregor a warning Marsellus Wallace would approve of ... saying after the "crackhead ese" diss Conor put on Nate Diaz ... his Stockton privileges have been revoked.
Stockton is, of course, Nate Diaz's hometown ... and when we got Berto out in L.A. we asked if the (racist?) insult Conor threw out at the UFC 202 presser Wednesday was over the line.
Check out the clip -- Berto says yes ... so much so that he thinks it'd be better if Conor avoided the lovely city of Stockton altogether for a while ... for fear of Nate sympathizers.
We get you, Berto ... but there's one time Conor definitely won't be able to avoid Stockton ... Saturday night.

UFC's 'Rumble' Johnson Praises Jon Jones 'Still Best Fighter In the World'
Cheating allegations or not, Jon Jones is still the best fighter in the world ... so says UFC star Anthony "Rumble" Johnson.
Johnson was famously supposed to fight Jones at UFC 187 last year -- but Jon was pulled from the fight less than a month before the match when he was arrested for a hit-and-run in New Mexico.
Now, with a potential 2-year suspension looming, Rumble says Jones' reputation has taken another major hit -- but his skills are still world-class.
"Nobody trusts him," Johnson said ... "He's still, to me, the best fighter in the world. It's just, once again, his actions make him ... it degrades him."
Johnson says he's still down to fight Jones at some point in the future -- "It doesn't matter if it's for the title or not. I would like to fight him because he is such a talented fighter."

Jon Jones Teases 'Really Good News' ... In Drug Test Drama

Jones just made a video to update his supporters -- "if there are any of you guys still out there" -- and says he has brand new information about the testing that seems to support his stance that he did NOT knowingly cheat.
Jones has been temporarily suspended by USADA (the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency) until his case goes before the Nevada Athletic Commission. He was expected to get the usual 2 year suspension.
Jones doesn't reveal why he's so optimistic -- but says, "We have found out lots of really good news and I am expecting to be back in the Octagon really soon."
Stay tuned ...

Jon Jones Cuts Deal In Drag Racing Case ... Gets Driving School
Jon Jones was just ordered to go back to school ... sentenced to complete an aggressive driving course as part of his punishment from his alleged drag racing incident in New Mexico.
As we previously reported, Jones was pulled over on March 24 in Albuquerque after an officer says the UFC superstar was drag racing on his way home from an MMA gym.
Jon called BS on the cop -- and began to cuss him out ... calling the officer a "f***ing pig" and a "liar."
Jones was issued several citations for unlawful drag racing, unlawful exhibition driving, unlawful use of modification of exhaust systems, failure to maintain traffic lane and improper display of registration plate.
But moments ago, Jones agreed to a deal with prosecutors -- pleading guilty to just unlawful use of modification of exhaust systems and improper display of registration plate.
In exchange he was ordered to complete 60 hours of community service and complete an aggressive driving course.
If he does not complete his terms, he faces up to 90 days in jail.
The good news for Jon ... he already has 51 hours of community service completed and a rep for the UFC star says he already knocked out the driving course!
For the mathematically challenged ... Jon has 9 to go -- and given his rate of community service, he should be done by the end of the weekend.
