Looks like a weak troll.

He was obviously joking.

That kind joke seems like a great idea when you'redoing blow with hookers.

Don't put his name next to cocaine, he's like major against that stuff. Oh and steroids.

411MANIA | Conor McGregor Says Hes Retiring, Nate Diaz Follows Suit



Has to be a troll..

ESPN has been trying to contact their management ,but no response has come back yet.

I'm not sure why he would do this. He's pretty much untouchable in his own weight class.

This has to be about money with the UFC.

Dana says it's because he refused to fly out to vegas for press obligations.

He's apparently training in Iceland. This whole thing just seems off. No one wants to see Diaz fight in a main or co-main event unless it's against Conor. Especially at UFC 200. Unless maybe they get GSP...and then Diaz gets injured during the training camp and all of a sudden Conor is back for red panty night on July 9. It really is hard to speculate on the situation given the limited details though.

Guinness and coke.

This is the silliest shit ever.

Assuming this is earnest and not a troll. I hope this is Conor pulling a power move on the UFC to get more money. Not because he needs it or I like him but because the UFC needs taken down a peg this reebok era of the UFC has been awful for fighters and a union needs to get formed in the fighters favor.

and the Reebok deal is a fucking joke.

I think I read an article a few days back that said the total reebok payouts since the program started were about equal to what Rory MacDonald alone made from sponsorship in one year prior

Wouldn't be surprised to see McGregor "make up" with the UFC just in time to headline the first MSG card. Something about the whole this just feels really fishy.

Dude loses to an average level fighter and then demands a pay raise?
