MMA fans were left with a sense of déjà vu when Conor McGregor announced that he was retiring from UFC last week. The Irish fighter made his first retirement announcement back in April 2016 but returned to action just four months later. He then retired for the second time in March 2019 but came out of retirement to fight Donald Cerrone in early 2020. Fans will, therefore, take his latest announcement with a pinch of salt.
The Notorious insists he is finished for good this time. “I’m a bit bored of the game,” he told ESPN in a follow-up interview.
