UFC superstar Conor McGregor issued a short statement on Twitter announcing that he is once again retiring from the sport of MMA. The Notorious One writes, “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.”
WWE’s Finn Balor joking responded to McGregor’s tweet writing, “See you at ‘mania brother.”

The former multi-time UFC champion has expressed his interest in joining the WWE in the past, even calling out a number of the company’s top stars for matchups. However, this is also McGregor’s third time retiring in the last four years, each time returning for a high-stakes fight. His last bout was a victory over Cowboy Cerrone at UFC 246 back in January.
