In this Oct. 6, 2018, file photo, Conor McGregor walks in the cage before fighting Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229, in Las Vegas.UFC superstar Conor McGregor announced his retirement on social media Monday night, abruptly ending his remarkable fighting career.
UFC President Dana White said in a text message to The Associated Press that McGregor’s announcement “totally makes sense.” His only fight in 2017 was a loss to boxer Floyd Mayweather in the richest fight in boxing history. He finally returned to the UFC cage last October, but lost a lightweight title fight to Khabib Nurmagomedov via submission in the fourth round.
White believes this retirement is genuine, and McGregor has had plenty of action outside the cage to occupy his time.
