Conor McGregor told subscribers that he was retiring, and also wished sports successes to colleagues in the competitions. However, such a statement seemed strange to many people, because the former UFC champion continues to train, and in July 2019 a fight was planned against American Donald Cerrone and also fans of mixed martial arts awaited a rematch between Conor and Russian wrestler Khabib Nurmagomedov. Recall that in 2016, MacGregor had already announced the end of a sports career, but later returned to sport.
If, after all, Conor will not refute his statement again, then we can expect that he will engage in coaching activities, which, as a rule, are chosen by former athletes. However, sometimes his colleagues in big sport radically change their profession.
