Conor McGregor has tweeted that he has decided to retire from fighting.
He announced it right after UFC 250 ended on Saturday night.
He said, “Hey guys I’ve decided to retire from fighting. Thank you all for the amazing memories! What a ride it’s been! Here is a picture of myself and my mother in Las Vegas post one of my World title wins! Pick the home of your dreams Mags I love you! Whatever you desire it’s yours”.

This is his third retirement announcement in four years. The 31-year-old made a similar announcement in April last year, only to return less than 12 months later.
In 2017, McGregor took a high-profile detour into the world of professional boxing, going down in 10 rounds to Floyd Mayweather in a showpiece event in Las Vegas.
Many people are finding it hard to believe if McGregor has called it quits for good.
