Conor McGregor has made it big in business

As mentioned in the last slide, Conor McGregor is a businessman. He is a businessman who is very well off.

He knows exactly what he needs to do to make sure that his affairs are taken care of.

With his own clothing line, as well as launching Proper Whiskey, McGregor has made it big outside MMA. He recently had tweeted a throwback to one of his best fights against Nate Diaz, where he had revealed that MMA was now the third level of his income.

Given his success elsewhere, McGregor no longer needs to put his body through the torture of preparing for yet another UFC fight. He can just sit at home, and manage his other businesses.

Whatever be the case, at the moment, McGregor is so well off, that he can get by without fighting ever again in his life. He might have realised this, and as a result, announced his retirement.
