On Twitter today, UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor posted this cryptic tweet implying that he was taking his cash and retiring from MMA.
I have decided to retire young.
Thanks for the cheese.

It’s highly likely that Conor is just joking or was hacked but if it is true it wouldn’t be completely shocking considering he could probably still make a shitload of money away from the cage.
Update: Conor’s trainer seems to have retired as well or is in on the joke.
Well was fun while it lasted

Nate Diaz who is supposed to fight McGregor at UFC 200 had a bit of fun with Conor’s sudden retirement on Twitter.
I guess my work here is done I'm retiring too✌🏼️👊🏼
