Conor McGregor has broken his silence.
If you’ve been living under a rock this week – or just in a non-MMA sphere – the UFC featherweight champion shook the fighting world by apparently announcing his retirement on Twitter.
I have decided to retire young.
Thanks for the cheese.
Catch ya's later.— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) April 19, 2016
The Dubliner was due for a rematch with Nate Diaz at UFC 200 but was since pulled from the card and now he’s danger of losing his world title belt.
The teasing continued from the Irishman who lined up his announcement and sent the social media world into meltdown with anticipation. Again.
No more games – check back later.
Ok no more games.
I am going to release a statement shortly.— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) April 21, 2016
And, yep, everyone lined up in orderly fashion.

But, finally, the statement came.
