Fitness Talk. Conor McGregor is retiring?

Ok, if you haven't heard Conor McGregor is supposedly retiring.  When the news first broke the reason was  because he was ringside when a fighter died from injuries in a MMA match.  He tweeted that he was done, then tonight I just read on ESPN Mixed Martial Arts page that Dana pulled him from UFC 200!

Weird.  McGregor had the world by the tail and he suddenly retires?  I totally get that MMA is measured in months rather than years at the top ranks of the sport, but this is still unusual.

What is going on behind the scenes of the UFC to have so many fighters seem so pissed off.  Check out these tweets from fighters reacting to McGregor's retirement...

I guess my work here is done I'm retiring too✌🏼️👊🏼

So it seems the McGregor retirement rumor is true. My thoughts? It's about the ca$h. Goes to UFC wanting more money & they said no. #UFC200
