‘I’ll be back’ - Conor McGregor uses Arnold Schwarzenegger for latest retirement hoax
Former UFC champion Conor McGregor went attention-hunting yesterday. Or was that engagement hunting?
The 22-6 star, fresh off of bragging about his bit-part in the Jake Gyllenhaal fronted Road House reboot, decided to hint to MMA fans that he would be trading the cage for Hollywood for good.
“Mma, I’ll never forget you! Easy work,” wrote the Irishman. Few took the announcement seriously. McGregor has claimed to have retired on multiple occasions. Many onlookers also noted that ‘easy work’ was an odd statement, given that McGregor has found it difficult to get in the win column over the last few years — going 1-4 in MMA and boxing since his 2016 win over Eddie Alvarez.
