    i think he will fight again , but dana white calling his bluff makes things a bit trickier
    but Mcgregor always said hell come in , take over and leave with a boat load of cash... all the non sense aside he showed its possible for an athlete to be a plumber 6 years ago and have 100+ mil in the bank is a huge accomplishment, cheers to him

    his act in the end started becoming his real personality which sucks , because he truly seemed like a genuine good person that started to play the heel , but so much money and fame seems like it got to his head now and hes starting to slowly go downhill... all the best to him if he stays retired though.... one hell of a story

    No it was likely Dana telling him to gfto or he was going to pack his bags for him. Kind of suspicious this hits the mainstream media just after he retires.

    I think his ego and actual brain took a blow when he came to the realization that he could never beat Khabib. Also, the money earned took away from his hunger. He could talk a big game but didn't back it up. Was a fan, but didn't like the way that he's handled this. Disappointing.

    Would love to see this, but he's always surrounded by his posse, so it would be a bloodbath on each side, if Dave has a posse.

    Did they not sell at the right time? Made billions, then down goes Rousey, Jones, Conor, forgetting others, but man, sell high! And now the ESPN+ fiasco.


    Edit: Forgot my other quote (Max): Max disagrees and says his competitive matches vs. Floyd Mayweather and Khabib Nurmagomedov prove he's an all-time great.

    Did I miss these rematches? Cause I didn't see the competitive ones...

    One of his greatest achievements was showing up at cowboys stadium for a day and getting all the players to do the Gumby arm dance when they make a play

    It seems like everyone here missed on why he retired.... he didn’t retire, The UFC forced him to retire until his sexual assult case gets cleared up... he had no choice. The UFC says retire for now or we will release you. Just imagine how bad the PR would be for the UFC if Convicted Mcgregor was still on the roster..... if hes innocent he will be back.

    He obviously had holes in his game but anyone saying he wasn't a great fighter is out of their mind.

    When his left landed on them those other guys in his weight class had the same look of shock as Trump haters when (insert any Trump winning moment here)

    styles make fights, he doesnt have the best TDD or cardio when it gets super late
    3 rounds , striking in his prime id put him against anybody 45/55 in MMA

    his movement, speed, timing and power were elite

    put Holloway in against Khabib a bad style matchup and see what happens , people will be shocked
    name of the game is styles make fights, Mcgregor wasnt scared to look bad and took whatever fight anytime, lots of greats dont do that , thats why their record looks so clean



    sidenote: if he actually did rape somebody that is despicable , really hope thats not true and its just a money grab... looks like drug abuse really has gotten to his head

    Wonder if his retirement has anything to do with this new rape allegation? Pretty coincidental timing.

    McGregor is a mess.. Screw loose in the head, anger management needed.. Hooked on drugs probably at this point..

    Wouldn't be surprised to see this guy locked up soon.. Or shot dead some where.. He's asking for trouble based on his current life style...
