McGregor is currently scheduled for a rematch with Nate Diaz at UFC 200 in July, a match that UFC head honcho Dana White said McGregor is “obsessed” about. This makes the timing of his retirement even more intriguing.
If this is in fact the end for McGregor, he will already go down in UFC history with multiple records, including the single largest live gate for an MMA event.
