What's behind Conor McGregor's retirement from UFC?
His tweet announcing his decision was retweeted more times than when Kobe Bryant announced his retirement from basketball. UFC president Dana White did not confirm McGregor's retirement but said he would no longer be fighting Nate Diaz on the UFC 200 card on 9 July, saying he was withdrawn for refusing to fly to Las Vegas for a news conference and promotional photos. Fergus Ryan is a MMA reporter who covers mixed martial arts for independent.ie, 98FM and Setanta Sport in Ireland.
