According to MMAfighting.com‘s Ariel Helwani, UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor’s recent retirement via social media may only be temporary.
Helwani tweeted early Wednesday morning that the Irish star may not have seen his last appearance in the Octagon just yet.
Lots of theories/motives/timelines being thrown out re: McGregor. I suspect the absolute truth will only come out when he speaks first.

Wouldn't hang my hat anything. One thing multiple sources seem to agree on: he'll fight again. When? Where? How? TBD. But they believe that.

According to Dana White, in a recent interview with ESPN, Conor refused to attend a media event in Las Vegas this week as he is in Iceland training for his previously scheduled fight with rival Nate Diaz. Now White says the UFC 200 main event has been scrapped and UFC brass is searching for other options for the card’s main event.
McGregor rocked the MMA world Tuesday afternoon, when he sent out a tweet announcing his sudden departure from the sport:
I have decided to retire young.
Thanks for the cheese.
