Conor McGregor’s influence extends far beyond the confines of the MMA arena – scan through his (social) media, and you’re as likely to spot him on the red carpet as you are in the octagon.
However, despite the successes and work outside the UFC, McGregor isn’t thinking about retiring anytime soon.
Here’s what he had to say about the topic of retirement in a recent interview:
I’m aware that [pressure of life] is present, that feeling and that thing, whatever it is.
But I’m also aware that rest, recuperation, recalibration – I’m not going to be 40-odd and looking at the 19-year-old wonder kid from f*cking wherever he’s from, even though they might be calling me out.
Look at all my potential opponents I have.
I have gangs of opponents, literally, that I have history with – trilogies, secondary fights, fresh fights even.
McGregor continues:
These are all similar age to me. So if these people are similar age to me, and I have an audience’s interest, which I do, who’s to say these fights won’t take place whenever they’ll take place?
Do you get me?It’s to the grave, my man.
It’s to the motherf*cking grave.
