But is he being serious, or just messing with people?
The UFC featherweight champion will not fight Nate Diaz at UFC 200 on July 9 in Las Vegas. Whether he will fight EVER again remains a question.
ESPN has attempted to contact McGregor and members of his camp, but no one was available for immediate comment.
McGregor went to Twitter and wrote:
“I have decided to retire young. Thanks for the cheese. Catch ya’s later.”

So far, no one from his camp has made any comment on the issue. And no one in the UFC seems to know whether he’s serious or just playing an elaborate joke on EVERYONE.
I guess we’ll have to wait and see..
