Conor McGregor stuns fans with tweet about his retirement

Ireland’s UFC superstar Conor McGregor sent cagefighting fans into a tailspin last night when he suggested via social media that he was hanging up his gloves for the final time.

The 27-year-old Dubliner, renowned for his bombast, went against character when he discreetly and cryptically sent a tweet that he was retiring sooner rather than later.

“I have decided to retire young,” the tweet said. “Thanks for the cheese. Catch ya’s later.”
