Conor McGregor announces retirement from MMA | CNBC Sports

Controversial Irish fighter Conor McGregor announced his retirement from the Mixed Martial Arts on Tuesday, five months after losing to Khabib Nurmagomedov in a title fight in Las Vegas.

He retired because Dana White wouldn’t give him, his well earned and deserved shares in the company 🥊

so no one's going to mention they forgot to edit this and have the two takes?

[tfyoutalmbout]

He got arrested for sexual assault. That's why he retired.

[Colt-iiqn]

He got humiliated worse than Duran / Leonard 2. He has no chance

He is announcing retirement just to be in the news!
He'll be back announcing another "great " superfight, and make more millions from suckers like us!
Reality is that he has been unmasked as a fighter, everyone knows now he was another Ronda rousy made up fighter just to attract PPV money to this sport that is corrupted to the core!

[JayJayMcfly]

He still earned it after coming back vs Diaz. Made noise! He’s a great entertainer also. He should’ve stayed away from the whiskey if he wanted to beat Khabib

[abdulrehmanserai]

who the fuck decided to upload this. couldnt edit that whole thing out??? unsubbed XD

[louiedavid]

Conor has just been flapping his lips and loosing fight for past 3 years, he should join WWE and just go away

[feim]

3 million just to show. Plus, probably 5$ per PPV, that made him at least 30 mill for that night, maybe more.

[nickjimenez]

Didn't know he got pinched for sexual assault.

[nelp.]

The UFC needed to set some equity aside for certain fighters, but sold it all to Hollywood actors and corporate identities.They need a balance between considering there Investors and fighters.Remember investors risk money, fighters risk there life👍

"The only thing better than money...is more money!" -Conor . Of course he senses he's got a few more millions to be made. Maybe in K-12. Boxing against Paquiao.

We haven't seen the last of him. I guarantee you Connor still has a couple more fights in his future isn't the first time we have seen these "middle of the night RETIREMENT type tweets" he isn't done w fighting, if he really has this love of the sport th as t he claims to have. If im wrong then good luck w your Proper 12 and other endeavors Connor is working w, but I still believe he will be back in fighting in some shape fashion or form!
