The UFC world is a tough one to live in. Ronda Rousey was THE name for six months and she got beat in her last fight. She's since been laying low. Conor McGregor was THE NEXT BIG THING, but he got beat on the same card.
And now, at age 27, he appears to have announced his retirement.
I don't blame them if they step away completely. This isn't boxing, where you can dance around for 10 rounds and wait for a decision in your favor. This sport is brutal. It takes its toll quickly. And once you get beat, it's difficult to get back in the octagon. The average top fighter in UFC doesn't last long. They aren't going to have a 45-0 career. Most will have less than 10 fights. and most will leave quickly, on the spur of the moment.
Dana White isn't sure if McGregor is truly retired, or if he just wants to sort out what he's going to do next, but there's a lot of that going around in the world of ultimate fighting.
