Connor McGregor announces retirement

That's a great channel. Don't think there's anything comparable in boxing.

If you read his diatribe you see he's nothing but an entitled little bytch who doesn't recognize that promotion is the very reason he is who he is. I rarely side with "the company" but McGregor comes off as someone who makes great efforts to sound deep and ponderous, but really has a poor sense of perspective. They sheltered him and he still managed to lose. Let him throw his tantrums. He's been exposed as a hype job and can't handle not being daddy's little princess anymore. Ha ha.

So he got retired by a drunk Mexican brawler who took the fight on a few weeks notice? That's one way to go I guess. Our current UFC face of the company everyone.

Why is ShoulderRoll not in here parading for the thread to get moved?

McGregor > more of a man than all of boxing combined (except a few like Gennady, Margarito, and such) The UFC has to stop being little beaches and give him respect, he has made the UFC, he took it to a whole new level. THEY MUST understand him and allow him to do this. UFC 200 will make HUGE MONEY because of McGregor.

HE hasn't retired!!! NYAHAHA! I knew it!! WAR MCGREGOR FOR LIFE!!!!! https://www.facebook.com/thenotoriousmma/posts/1260441947357435 I am paid to fight. I am not yet paid to promote. I have become lost in the game of promotion and forgot about the art of fighting. It is time to be selfish with my training again. It is the only way. I feel the $400million I have generated for the company in my last three events, all inside 8 months, is enough to get me this slight leeway. I am still ready to go for UFC 200. For USADA and for the UFC and my contract stipulations - I AM NOT RETIRED.

Beat up a few drained bums. Start a hype train among casuals. Make a few Million bucks. Retire healthy.

Conor too busy playing touchbutt to do any press conferences.

according to this http://www.sherdog.com/news/news/Conor-McGregor-Out-of-UFC-200-Promotion-Seeking-New-Opponent-for-Nate-Diaz-103613 an this http://entimports.com/2016/04/conor-on-danas-statement-it-wasnt-just-a-presser-it-was-a-mini-world-tour-and-unrealistic/ just looks like standard ego clash/contract stuff conor wanted to train, UFC wanted him to do a promo tour, he said no, they cancelled the fight & he tweeted that he's retired

McGregor is the king and you will bow to his feet you bums

This why idiots around here need to stop talking about how much better UFC is than boxing. ??????????

Colby Covington ✔ ‎@ColbyCovMMA Poor THENotoriousMMA must not be getting enough attention lately so he has to joke about being the quitter he really is. #ufc 9:37 PM - 19 Apr 2016 Colby Covington ✔ ‎@ColbyCovMMA Conor stole his tattoo designs from a model and his bargaining tactics from Floydmayweather 9:45 PM - 19 Apr 2016 22 22 Retweets 45 45 likes Haha ouch!

This thread and the responses therein really show the posters on this site, as a collective, are fcuking retarded.

I was just starting to think he was the real deal. No shame in losing but to just quit in the middle of camp in your prime reveals how commited you are too the sport. Looks like UFC is back where they was 2 years ago.

Conor McGregor may have retired because of Joao Carvalho. He was there ringside when the guy died. It probably struck a chord in him. He doesn't want to suffer serious injury, or even death in his life. He's made a few millions, and can retire rich and with his health still intact. That's a great decision, even if disappointing to MMA fans.

He just ruined an entire UFC card with that nonsense.

I really hope this is a troll because as a Conor fan, Id be extremely disappointed and disgusted at how weak he is. If its true, what a weak beach. I doubt its true though, it just goes against his nature as a person, specially with the thirst of revenge. The weakest are usually the ones that bark the most

The few UFC stars left are on suicide watch. What gives? Is Dana the next to go under?
