Conor McGregor weighed in on the recent news that legendary NFL quarterback Tom Brady will be retiring from the sport. Brady is a seven-time Super Bowl champion and is widely regarded as the greatest quarterback in NFL history.
McGregor took to Twitter after the Tampa Buccaneers star posted a video announcing his retirement. He tweeted that Brady, who boasts Irish ancestry, was in a league of his own.
The UFC star wrote:
"No finer Irish American football legend! I know the next chapter will continue your winning streak-Sláinte! @TomBrady"
Brady also announced his retirement last year, but eventually returned for the 2022 NFL season. In a recent video posted on his Twitter account, the 45-year-old mentioned that it was a tough decision but one that he's ready to make:
"Thank you guys so much to every single one of you for supporting me. My family, my friends, teammates, my competitors. I could go on forever - there's too many. Thank you guys for allowing me to live my absolute dream. I wouldn't change a thing. Love you all."
Conor McGregor is one of many star athletes congratulating Brady on his retirement. Despite announcing the end of his career, there are fans still speculating on whether he'll have a change of heart once again.
Conor McGregor reportedly set to coach next season of The Ultimate Fighter
It could only be a matter of time before the UFC announces Conor McGregor's return fight and date.
Earlier this week, SevereMMA reported that 'The Notorious' is set to be one of the coaches on the next season of The Ultimate Fighter. It would be his second time coaching on the show as he previously held the role opposite UFC Hall of Famer and former WEC featherweight champion Urijah Faber in 2015.
It will be interesting to see who the promotion matches up with the former two-division UFC champion for his return. Two fighters who have been rumored are Tony Ferguson and Michael Chandler. It appears that whoever he faces, McGregor's return will be contested at welterweight.
