McGregor says he’s retiring

Mixed martial arts star Conor McGregor said on Monday he had retired from the sport, vowing to hang up his gloves for the second time in three years. The Irish star of the Ultimate Fighting Championship wrote on Twitter that he had decided to call time on his career inside the Octagon. “Hey guys quick announcement, I’ve decided to retire from the sport formally known as ‘Mixed Martial Art’ today,” McGregor wrote. McGregor, 30, has not fought since being well beaten by Khabib Nurmagomedov in October 2018. The Dubliner, a popular fighter in the UFC, had previously vowed to retire in 2016 in a move that was widely seen as a negotiating gambit.
