Conor McGregor announces retirement

[EnriqueBrah]

You do realize every other fighter on the card is showing up right..? There is no excuse to be a baby about this when professional fighters know what they are signing up for and the health hazards with it. You think the military lets someone pull out after spending money training them when it's time to go to war? No.

Joe schilling was on the JRE podcast and hogan was talking about how dangerous it is for glory to have tourneys where guys fight 3 times in a night and how it could easily result in death

Joe S. was like yeah its dangerous but it doesnt bother me

no way connor retired because of the dangers
these guys know what theyre getting into

[jmiddleton96]

He's joining WWE... Lesnar vs McGregor

As a U.S. Army Infantryman, I'd tell you you'd be surprised lol
I could rant all day on this

This meme needs to stop

He was always scared. The act is what he uses to cover it up, and why he instantly taps when he gets choked.

He has been having nightmares about what a ready Nate Diaz is going to do him, he knows he will either be beaten to a pulp or he will be tapping.

He wants neither another weight cut or a beating so he quits, because deep down he was always a quitter.

If the UFC have any sense they will never let him fight again, as this will encourage more diva behaviour in the future. They encouraged his behaviour and now they are paying for it.

Send his bum ass to Bellator where it belongs.

...but that will never happen as this is business without morals, not a sport.

The UFC has become nothing more than a joke run by a couple of egotistical trt idiots.

Getting rid of Lorenzo and Dana would be the best thing for the UFC as it needs businessmen and not nuthuggers to run it properly, then this chit wouldn't happen.

Conor will be back whenever he decides and for whatever amount of cash he asks. This is how pathetic things have become.

MMA fans can suck all of their cawks.

How is the UFC wrong in this you retard? You think they should bow down to one fighter and let him do anything he wants to do?

Me? Retard? Don't you even understand what i wrote you muppet?

They have no morals because they let the ******* do whatever he wanted and made special rules for him compared to everyone else. Now they are reaping what they sowed. He wakes up in the morning and looks in the mirror and sees Floyd Mayweather staring back at him.

Dana wearing an Ireland rugby top.




Lorenzo wearing an Irish flag.



Nuthuggers, not men of business.

For instance you wouldn't have seen them draped in French flags or clothes when GSP fought.

[Fairfax]

I'll say this for McGregor: he inspired a remarkable degree of sycophancy, even among people who should've known better. Some commentators were comparing him to Muhammad Ali.

Whatever's going on, he hasn't 'formally' retired yet, whatever that involves. That would leave the FW title vacant and upgrade Aldo/Edgar to a title fight, but no such announcements have been made.

thread got packed fast. was barely mid way through page two last night, now we on that 5 pages with 50ppp (master race) time

[Peacenukka1129]

This is awesome! First Ronda now Conor! So fun to watch them lose once and wake the **** up from hypnosis

[Carbonfibre]

another scenario

maybe UFC forced him to fight Nate

he wanted none of Nate again, full camp from diaz probably thought was gonna get ko'd

leading up to this no where did conor come out and post on twitter/intagram about rematch

hmm interesting take. hadnt thought of that, not saying i agree with it, but its something to consider.

[wake_me]

Send his bum ass to Bellator where it belongs.

If he retires with fights left on his UFC contract he isn't going to be able to fight anywhere else.

Reports were it was Conor demanding the fight and Dana tried to talk him out of it.

[RScary15]

Saw another report that a source close to Conor was saying it wasn't just a press conference.

But a mini world tour to promote the event.

Why would he sign a contract to fight diaz again if he was scared? He could of taken another aldo fight and probably destroyed him again

Didnt seem like a problem with chad or aldo.

still a bs excuse if tru

[John L]

I wonder what Conor and his fans would have had to say if it was Nate who decided to retire out of the blue.

[Carbonfibre]

I think that's just Dana hype machine. It never came out from Conor himself.


Conor didn't appear on ESPN/MMA news site and say himself I want to fight Diaz again.

His twitter/instagram has zero mention of rematch.

After Nate fight the last time Conor spoke publicly was post fight press conference.

6-8 weeks of silence followed.

stop trying to put the blame on the UFC
apparently Diaz is heading to UFC headquarters to find out who his opponent will be
rumors are obviously GSP

[EnriqueBrah]

Conor definitely wanted the rematch. Dana probably wanted him to defend his belt, it wouldn't make any sense for the UFC to force a rematch with Diaz, he's the organization's golden child and nobody wants to see that fight.

[JayDubbs932]

Conor put up a tweet saying "I have an announcement to make" and then it was removed seconds later. I'll update if he tweets.

He realized nobody gives two ****s at UFC if he wants to be a bish. Gonna enjoy what he has to say since it's his move now. No way in hell do I want to see him on 200 or still fight Diaz though.

yeah cuz gsp isnt from france hes french canadian

so either a canada flag or quebec flag

lol
