Late last night former UFC lightweight and featherweight champion Conor McGregor sensationally announced — via a tweet — that he was retiring from MMA. The Irishman’s announcement came just after UFC 250 wrapped up.
This morning ESPN MMA reported more details regarding McGregor’s decision to leave the sport.
A major source of disagreement between McGregor and the UFC appeared to be a which fights he should take and when he should take them.
“I laid out a plan and a method that was the right move, the right methods to go with,” said McGregor.
