Conor McGregor announces UFC retirement on Twitter

Conor McGregor has announced his latest retirement from UFC.

The 31-year-old wrote: “Hey guys I’ve decided to retire from fighting.

“Thank you all for the amazing memories! What a ride it’s been! Here is a picture of myself and my mother in Las Vegas post one of my world title wins! Pick the home of your dreams Mags I love you! Whatever you desire it’s yours.”

UFC president Dana White seemed fairly relaxed about the uncertainty of McGregor’s UFC future, as well as that of Jones and Masvidal, due to the events currently gripping the world right now. Speaking at the UFC 250 press conference, he said in quotes on the organization’s YouTube channel: “The amount of people I have gunning at me right now is insane. But here we are.

“If people don’t want to fight, you don’t have to fight. If these guys want to sit out and retire right now or if anybody feels uncomfortable in any way, shape or form with what’s going on you don’t have to fight. It is all good.
