Conor McGregor has announced he is retiring from UFC.
But this isn't the first time the Irish MMA star has taken to social media to announce to the world he will not be stepping into the octagon ever again.
Back in 2016 McGregor sparked confusion when he tweeted: "I have decided to retire young. Thanks for the cheese. Catch ya's later."
The Irishman had already signed for a re-match with Nate Diaz, who beat him with a second round submission in their first non-title fight - McGregor's first UFC defeat.
McGregor was the one who pushed for the re-match, but following his sudden retirement announcement on Twitter was pulled from his Las Vegas fight with the American.

A statement on UFC's official website then emerged, reading: "McGregor informed UFC officials that he would not participate in any promotional activities, including a commercial shoot and press conferences."
Diaz didn't appear to take McGregor's announcement too seriously, and responded: "I guess my work here is done, I'm retiring too."

And it seems he was right not too as the Irishman performed a U-turn and the fight was rescheduled for a month later, with McGregor coming out on top this time.
McGregor's latest retirement announcement does appear to be more genuine as the UFC star isn't in line to step into the octagon to fight any one person at this moment in time.
