McGregory Retiring

[Kermit]

It sure adds to the drama boys I would think Connor will be back in six months

If he comes back, then he was hurt.

[GoodSun]

fighters come and go. he really thinks that he is bigger than the ufc. tweeting his retirement lol. the guy is losing it, someone should tell him to layoff the coke.

[Ty$]

oh its streams, nah i don't mind paying the cost to make sure its a good quality, its usually just 1 maybe 2 payed ppvs per month, that's no big deal, majority of the time you'll be spliting the bill anyway, but if it was same quality, that would be cool...i've watched fights on streams, and that shit is for the birds, i cant live bet fights if its skipped to death, or miss parts of the round, would end up costing me alot more money. but i will boycott ufc200 if this shits about money.

Even if you don't watch the fights they are well worth the $ for everything else jus saying guys

He started training camp but that loss still haunts him. Then to see that fight in Dublin got him all worked up even more. He already knows Diaz has him beat so he'll calling it off - for now. I'm sure he'll return after Aldo/Edgar fights and he can avoid Edgar. Another loss in 200 would be a major setback and he's not ready to handle another defeat so soon. When he relinquishes the FW title is when he might be officially done.

[Snoman]

Starting to think it's for real, with the combo of his training partner killing the dude and him having thought retirement before he went on the sick run...

The guy is sure not set for life he hasn't made that much money in that sport and their lifestyles are much higher than ours

You mow lawns for a living and post 24/7 on a gambling forum and you are set for life. Pretty sure McGregor does not need your help to make it thru life. He can buy and sell you at a moment's notice.

You just put jj to shame lol. Gold acts like he's important when we all aware he gets paid by the thread he creates and lives on here what a clown

[DiggityDaggityDo]

JJ how much do you get paid per thread??

McGregor, who is training in Iceland, was contacted by*Visir*for an interview. The featherweight champ responded simply with:“No, I’m retired. Fu ck interviews.”Jonathan Shrager is reporting that Conor McGregor, who was removed from his scheduled UFC 200 main event rematch with Nate Diaz earlier tonight by the UFC, was unhappy with the UFC’s promo plans for the summer’s blockbuster event stating that they were “unrealistic”.Here is what Jonathan reported on Twitter:I've just had contact with an immediate family member of#McGregor, and it would appear the retirement tweet is to be taken at face value— Jonathan Shrager (@JonathanShrager)*April 19, 2016#McGregor*Update 1/2: Conor confirmed to my source (see earlier tweet) a couple of hours ago that he's retired— Jonathan Shrager (@JonathanShrager)*April 20, 2016#McGregor*Update 2/2: Conor informed my source that the promo tour was unrealistic; not just the presser, it was more like a mini world tour— Jonathan Shrager (@JonathanShrager)*April 20, 2016According to the report, the UFC’s featherweight champion plans on remaining retired as he stated on Twitter earlier today.

bs, can't watch him lose to aldo, mendes and edgar now


if he likes money as much as he says he does he will be back without a doubt. Also, if he was really retiring I'd expect to hear some news about him being back in the new xXx movie

[JoshKnows46]

McGregor’s retirement will remain a hot-button topic for the foreseeable future but the WWE appears to already be discussing approaching McGregor about a jump to the sports-entertainment and professional wrestling world.

According to sources, WWE believes McGregor is a perfect candidate to crossover to the WWE Universe. His controversial retirement, his character, his notoriety, marketability and his age (27) are very appealing to WWE.

WWE could be in a great position to offer McGregor a very appealing opportunity, one bot lucrative and increasingly beneficial. WWE could help make McGregor a ton of money, globalize his name/brand and offer a unique and powerful platform to do so.

Additionally, WWE has to be chomping at the bit daydreaming of a Lesnar/McGregor showdown at a future WrestleMania or some sort affiliation with Ronda Rousey, who is also expected to one day join the WWE.

Whether McGregor’s retirement is truly permanent remains to be seen and WWE’s interest may be limited to just internal banter at this point, but if the stars align and McGregor does end up talking to WWE, it’s hard imagining the WWE losing out on a rare opportunity.

as $WWE stock holder they better be angling for conor, that would be amazing.

buy stocks, that is how you get rich

[JoshKnows46]

Ufc fuked up thinking they were bigger then mcgregor, they'll still be around of course, but they will lose out on a ton of fuking money for kicking him off this card, regardless of his demands, he finishes out his contact, and then I believe he's done..they pissed off the wrong one...Dana white is too prideful to understand when he doesn't have the upper hand.

Hed instantly be the biggest star in the wwe, simply because of his natural ability to run a promo, there's no rocks stone colds or the like in the wwe now that can run a promo. I wish we could see atleast 5 more years of him in mma, but that's doubtful now, because of whites incompatence..

miri laughing at money, what's new?

Hed instantly be the biggest star in the wwe, simply because of his natural ability to run a promo, there's no rocks stone colds or the like in 5he ufc now that can run a promo. I wish we could see atleast 5 more years of him in mma, but that's doubtful now, because of whites incompatence..

I used to watch when they had rock and stone cold but I would think he would be at least as big as lesnar. They could do all kinds of stories plus the Mountain guy conor sorted spar with was rumored to be in talks with WWE. That would be too good to be true for WWE. Plus they got the big show still. Not going to lie I'd rather him go to WWE than stay in MMA. Conor can make himself and me more money. It would be like disney buying lucasFilms and getting Indiana Jones. I'd be very bullish on WWE if they got conor, just makes way too much sense for it not to happen.

[Kermit]

So Conor begs for a pointless Nate Diaz rematch, gets it, and then doesn't want to promote it.

What an ass.

[JoshKnows46]

The notorious! This legend needs to return to mma, weather bellator or the ultimate dictator championship...

I don't know. I remember when GSP retired/quit, people were saying how he was the face of the UFC and so important and how the UFC would go under without him.

[Kermit]

Isn't Conor kind of small for the WWE? CM punk looked small in there and he's bigger than Conor.

Little guys like Conor are doing Luca-Libra shit.

[JoshKnows46]

What an ass.

He got his ass stomped because of lack of energy, who wouldn't want to spend everyday training, then another world tour, he's been promoting fights constantly the last few years, not much time between his fights, it's more than understandable he'd be tired of it. He's the best promotion is in the ufc, just a retirement tweet, generated more hype for this card then everyone on that card going on a mini world tour, it's unnessary, people will buy any card he's on. Also maybe he knows there's nothing much he can say to diaz after losing like he did, he's good at being a frontrunner both in the cage and in media, but we've never seen him off a loss, he probable wouldn't have much to say, but I sure wish he would hav, because he would have layed a beating on diaz and made me a ton of money.

[brooks85]

UFC and MMA will be absolutely fine without conor. No doubt UFC will take a hit on the bottom and top line but losing lesnar was a big hit too.

[JoshKnows46]

I loved the old gsp but i hated gsp since the serra lost, Jackson turned him into a boring pus.sy, fight not to lose, his fights and promotional skills were far under mcgregor as far as being exciting. He was big because he had Canada behind him.

New and revolutionary news!! UFC NOT going bankrupt because of Conor leaving!! Thanks for you intelligent and insightful view point.

Nah. Post Serra GSP was the most beautiful thing to bet on. You knew what you where getting every time, and that decision prop was always right around evens.

Account sn bet he doesn't?? Up for it? He thrives when he was the bully. Now it's the other way around. Did you not see the signs at the weight in? The press conference. (Touch butt). He also tapped quick like a b.

He's off the catd, if he gets back on the card against diaz, I'll bet you anything you want, obviously that's not happening,and everything I just typed Was a waste of my time.

[Bert102]

" I don't pull out of fights like these other bums". - Connor..

He didn't pull out, he said he's not doing media, Dana white pulled him out.

[Bert102]

He didn't pull out, he said he's not doing media, Dana white pulled him out.

You obviously don't have a lot of knowledge if you believe a PROMOTER who has a history of being a total bullshiter. He knows any rumor of ducking is gonna kill mcgregors hype train.

[Sledge187]

I just unfollowed Connnor on Twitter.....he is going to be pissed.
