Though his political ambitions remain, Conor McGregor has ended his bid to become the next president of Ireland.
The former UFC two-division champion announced his decision in a post on social media on Sunday night.
“Following careful reflection, and after consulting with my family, I am withdrawing my candidacy from this presidential race,” McGregor wrote on X. “This was not an easy decision, but it is the right one at this moment in time. While I will not contest this election, my commitment to Ireland does not end here. I will continue to serve my people by using my international platform to promote.
