Comments Thread For: Conor McGregor Announces His Retirement

[texasboi15]

Brilliant move by Mcgregor

Conor wants stock in the company which the UFC has repeatedly denied

We'll see what their next move is.

Yeah, but I meant, if gregor had been a boxer training in that sport instead of MMA...
It would be a very interesting thing to know how good he would have been.

yes but initially conor trained solely in boxing and although im sure he could have got a lot better he was not a stand out perfrormer on the international scene...and thats being generous. He clearly developed a formative style and skill set for mma but a boxer he is not anjd never would have been in my opinion

[Gary Coleman]

He'll try to get another high paying exhibition fight. Can't blame him.

Work smart not hard.

Yeah but MMA is evolving quickly because sport sciences, cardio training, strength conditioning are more evolved than 1918.

I believe if McGregor had been a pro boxer he would have been at least an alfabet titilist, kinda career like Paulie or Hatton...at least...what do you think?

I honestly can say we don’t know. If I I wouldn’t bet on it tho. I wouldn’t bet that Floyd would hold a belt in MMA either. I respect both sports too much to say that

Not with his cardio. He has the stamina of a 50 year old, combined with massively overrated punching power, due mostly to using those tiny MMA gloves on the undersized midgets he fought for the majority of his career.

Glad somebody said it These people are delusional. McGregor couldn't even get past 8 rounds without being completely exhausted and that wasn't even a high paced fight by any means. McGregor probably couldn't even beat Malignaggi unless he KO'd him early, he's terrible. He landed one significant punch in the entire fight and a low blow that everybody claims was a body punch.

Glad the bragging jack ass is gone and I hope he stays gone.

The terrific beating he took from Floyd "tap-tap" Mayweather shortened his career. I also don't suppose that not needing to fight for money had any influence on his decision.

[MrRolltide91]

Dont believe him

[FinitoxDinamita]

Good and he should retire. I would do the same if i was him. He has made more money than any MMA fighters and boxers can only dream of. I bet it’s hard for him to get up for fights after making that kind of money. *** it. Retire and enjoy life. And if he gets the itch to comeback, he certainly can because there are millions of sucker out there who will pay to watch him fight haha.
