Conor McGregor UFC news: Notorious hints that he might not fight again

Conor McGregor has again hinted that he could have fought for the last time in the UFC.

The fighter said in March on this year that he was retiring from mixed martial arts but has since resumed training with a octagon comeback mooted before the end of the year.

But the Crumlin man tweeted in the early hours of Friday morning: "I’d tell you I’m done but you wouldn’t believe me."

The Notorious has a history of threatening to hang up his gloves. In 2016, he said he decided to “retire young” after UFC pulled him off the UFC 200 card.

McGregor last fought in the octagon in October 2018 when he slumped to a submission loss to lightweight king Khabib Nurmagomedov.

Meanwhile, Mayweather has laughed off any chance of a rematch with UFC star Conor McGregor.

The American easily defeated the Dubliner in a money-spinning Las Vegas clash in the boxing ring two years ago.

It took the boxer's record to 50-0 and reportedly got the second highest pay-per-view buy rate in history.

But judging by his reaction to a possible rematch with the Notorious, Mayweather may go elsewhere for his next payday.

He told TMZ: “Boy, boy, boy, boy, boy... these kids are some circus clowns.

“They can’t f*** with Money May.

“They gonna keep coming my way. At the end of the day, I keep laughing, I keep living, I keep going to the bank.”
