What’s next for Conor McGregor? A question that has been bothering millions of UFC fans all around the world ever since he has announced retirement. This is not the first time Conor McGregor has let the world know he is retired. But the reason for this call of Conor was different from the previous reasons.
On previous occasions, Conor McGregor played the retirement card because he wanted some leverage during the negotiations with UFC. But this time, McGregor retired because UFC was unable to offer him fights. After Justin Gaethje won the interim title, McGregor called out UFC to make a fight between Gaethje and him.

Now the majority of the MMA fans believe that Conor will make his comeback. However, the recent post from McGregor will certainly bother his fans.
