Remember when UFC superstar Conor McGregor<\/a> tweeted that he had retired last year<\/a>? Well, we all know that didn’t end up being true and it would have been a shame if “The Notorious” hung up the gloves back then as he has accomplished some historical feats since. <\/p>\n

If McGregor retired in April of last year like he tweeted, he would not have gone on to become the only fighter in history to be a simultaneous two-division UFC champion<\/a>. McGregor also would not have made the biggest payday of his career<\/a> by transitioning to the boxing ring for the money fight with Floyd Mayweather.<\/p>\n

Now, sitting pretty with a ton of cash, McGregor spoke with Sky Sports News<\/a> and echoed his criteria<\/a> for how he will decide it’s time for him to retire.<\/p>\n

“I always look at the end from a damage-taken standpoint,” McGregor said. “How much damage have I taken? How is my brain? How is my mental health? How is my physical body? How is my training? How is my preparation? How is my hunger for it?”<\/p>\n

\"Conor<\/a><\/p>\n

Fortunately, for those that have interest in seeing McGregor compete, the current UFC lightweight champion says that he still has a lot of fight left in him.<\/p>\n

“It is not necessarily a money thing for me. I am passionate about fighting,” McGregor stated. “Fighting is what I love to do. I will continue to do it as long as I am healthy and willing to put in the work that it takes to do.<\/p>\n

“I will not be stupid though. I will not notice things about myself and then continue to do it like many others before me.<\/p>\n

McGregor added that he knows that he is competing in a “dangerous, ruthless business,” and is grateful that he has accumulated wealth along with all of his success. Now the Irish superstar does not have to fight to make a living, but will continue “doing it for the love of it.”<\/p>\n
