Conor McGregor retires: Pamela Anderson brands Notorious' decision a smart move

Pamela Anderson has wished Conor McGregor well after the former two weight UFC champion announced his retirement from MMA.

The Notorious took to social media in the early hours of Tuesday morning claiming that he has quit the sport.

He wrote:  "Hey guys quick announcement, I've decided to retire from the sport formally known as 'Mixed Martial Art' today.

"I wish all my old colleagues well going forward in competition. I now join my former partners on this venture, already in retirement. Proper Pina Coladas on me fellas!"

Replying to McGregor's tweet, Baywatch star Anderson commented: "Enjoy your beautiful family and take care of yourself ... #smartmove."

McGregor hasn't stepped into the Octagon since October when he was submitted by lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov.
