UFC star Conor McGregor announced his retirement on social media late Monday night, bringing his career to a sudden end.
It's the second time in three years that McGregor has said his days of fighting in the octagon are over.
Just hours before his announcement, the 30-year-old McGregor went on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” and said that he was preparing for a possible fight at UFC 239 in July.
“I’ve decided to retire from the sport formally known as ‘Mixed Martial Art’ today.” McGregor later posted on Twitter.
Hey guys quick announcement, I’ve decided to retire from the sport formally known as “Mixed Martial Art” today.
