Is Conor McGregor truly done with MMA?
Whether you believe the retirement announcement from “The Notorious” or not (after all, he has done this before), it’s the kind of news that always gets people talking and that definitely includes his peers in the sport.
As expected, UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov chimed in, and you can check out some of the other reactions, many of which were written with a decidedly tongue-in-cheek tone.
There can be only one king in the jungle.

Much respect to Conor.
He’ll be back though for sure! https://t.co/V1mMpPHini
And just like that he was gone. Congrats @TheNotoriousMMA on a career that changed the game. The sport has grown and you have helped the sport crossover. Thank you Conor, no doubt @ProperWhiskey will have the same success as you in the octagon. Cheers
