Conor McGregor Is Leaving UFC a Legend, but Will He Stay Retired?

Beware the boy who cried wolf. Or is this the end of an era?

If Conor McGregor really retired early Tuesday morning after the most successful MMA career in history, it's a loss for the sport. No matter what you think about McGregor personally or even technically as a fighter, his star power was a tide that lifted every boat, including the UFC superyacht on which he sailed into immortality.

Conor McGregor Hey guys quick announcement, I’ve decided to retire from the sport formally known as “Mixed Martial Art” today. I wish all my old colleagues well going forward in competition. I now join my former partners on this venture, already in retirement. Proper Pina Coladas on me fellas!

The retirement…
