Remember when Conor McGregor “retired” and not a single person who enjoys UFC took it seriously? Well, as usual, McGregor was never serious about retirement.
I think it’s safe to say we all saw this coming from a mile away, despite how much Dana White tried to convince us differently.
Hey guys I’ve decided to retire from fighting.
Thank you all for the amazing memories! What a ride it’s been!

The UFC is simply better when McGregor is involved and at the top of his game. When McGregor is rolling, he’s arguably the most entertaining man in all of sports.
Now, he’ll get back in the octagon in a couple months to notch another victory on his belt. To say I’m looking forward to it would be an understatement.

While I have nothing against Poirier, I’m hoping like hell that McGregor leaves him in his dust.
