Conor McGregor says he’s 'decided to retire from fighting' in a tweet posted after UFC250.

McGregor, 31, last fought in January when he defeated Donald Cerrone in a welterweight bout at UFC 246. That fight came after he had previously announced his retirement in March of 2019. He also once announced his retirement in 2016.“Nobody is pressuring anybody to fight,” White told reporters,. “And if Conor McGregor feels he wants to retire, you know my feelings about retirement — you should absolutely do it. And I love Conor…there’s a handful of people that have made this really fun for me.

“I’m just 31 years of age, I have a lot of prime left in me and a lot of desire and a lot of lofty goals,” McGregor said. If this is the end, McGregor leaves MMA as one of the most successful athletes in the sport’s history. Since turning pro in 2008, he’s posted a 22-4 record with 19 wins by knockout. McGregor joined the UFC in 2013, where he won three championship fights and headlined five out of the six highest-selling pay-per-view events in UFC history.

TheNotoriousMMA is the greatest UFC Champion to never defend a title!!!

Cya

Buh bye. Arse.

this dude just seeking attention now..

FAN590 Who cares

What will he do now ? Doctor ? Lawyer ? Mid -East peace negotiator ? Sky's the limit for this gift to humanity ! 🥺

Does anyone care?

FAN590 He's just looking for attention. He'll be back in the ring within a year or so, and the media will promote the big come-back story of Conor McGregor. Those guys need a side story to remain popular in a niche sport like UFC.

This whole thing has a very BrettFavre feel to it

He don’t remember sayin’ the last two !! 🤪

Like a Rock Bands Final Tour? 🤣

3rd time the charm?

FAN590 Me before a weeklong vacation: Temporary retirement, here I come!

Well he see's his upcoming opponents, as very real losses.. Justin will beat Conor senseless as he did to Tony and Khbib will maul Conor as he did the last time.. Conor can't take 2 losses in a row. lol.

When they run out of money because of the lavish lifestyle he will be ready to get punched in the head again for some money .

Until he's offered $100 million to fight again.

when was he unretired, like from june 1st to 6th.?

Dudes gonna be remembered as the most overrated fighter of all time, there's no way around it at this point

It’s the concussions

His retirement has taken longer then Cher’s

Yeah Yeah Yeah

Are you sure, sure, though?

Third time the charm?

Again?

Again?

timandsid He hasn’t heard himself in the news for a bit so he has to make an announcement. He will be back. He just likes the attention.

timandsid '... but the drunken brawling WILL continue...'

Here we go again

Yawn

LOL

Time to retire when your grandkids never have to work

Uh i thought he retired during the Kahbib fight.

Yeah whatever... What is this like the 3rd or 4th time he's 'retired'

Good. He sucks

2nd fookin time

Attention seeker. Trying to overshadow what has been a great night for the MMA world. Arrogant mf. How about congratulate GOAT Amanda who've successfully defended 2 titles at 2 different weight class?

WWE here he comes

People still watch this?
