It can’t be.
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.

Conor McGregor just went on Twitter to announce his retirement from mixed martial arts. Just hours after he appeared on Jimmy Fallon’s talk show.
Dana White went on to comment on McGregor’s decision.

The former two-division champion actually pulled a fast one on fans once before, back in April 2016. He came out of retirement four months later to fight Nate Diaz in Las Vegas.
Happy to announce that I am BACK on UFC 200!
Shout out to @danawhite and @lorenzofertitta on getting this one done for the fans. #Respect— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) April 25, 2016
Nevertheless, would the Irish loudmouth make his way to the WWE? Or is this just another elaborate April Fools Joke. McGregor was estimated to have earned $200 million throughout his career including the cross-promotion fight against Floyd Mayweather.
