Conor McGregor has been dominating the headlines lately. Last week, McGregor announced, via Twitter, that he had decided to retire from MMA. Most people didn’t believe the retirement would stick - few do in MMA - and not too long afterwards, the reason for McGregor’s retirement became apparent: McGregor was pushing for equity in the UFC and Dana White was refusing to budge. Things appeared to be at a stalemate, and then all hell broke loose.
This week, McGregor’s teammate Artem Lobov got slapped by Paulie Malignaggi at a media event.
