5 reasons why Conor McGregor is unlikely to fight again

#4. His ventures outside of the octagon

While Conor McGregor is known for being a professional mixed martial artist, he has expanded his horizons in recent years. His boxing match with Floyd Mayweather Jr. allowed him to test the waters beyond the shores of MMA. Since then, the Irishman has made good use of his popularity to explore other ventures that have nothing to do with combat sports.

McGregor is the co-owner of August McGregor, a menswear clothing brand founded by luxury clothesier David August and McGregor himself. Second, the Irishman is also responsible for introducing the increasingly popular Irish whiskey brand Proper No. Twelve to the world. He also founded the Black Forge Inn in Ireland.

Furthermore, he was recently cast in the upcoming remake of the 1989 classic action movie "Road House."

With so many ventures outside the cage, McGregor will have little time and energy to focus on MMA.

#3. McGregor's partying

When Conor McGregor first arrived in the UFC, he was a committed martial artist who often echoed quotes revolving around his journey as a martial artist. There was a point in time when McGregor's obsession with getting better seemed frightening. The Irishman even claimed to have studied animal movements before enlisting the services of trainer Ido Portal.

Now, 'The Notorious' appears to be more interested in partying, often drinking and engaging in extravagant celebrations that have earned him a negative reputation among his fellow fighters. With his interest in martial arts fading by the year while his drinking and partying negatively impact his fitness, it is possible that McGregor might decide to simply enjoy the fruits of his hard work.
