So McGregor announced his retirement for like the third time now.

Such an annoying person.

your post should have said "so mcgregor posted on twitter again. such an annoying person"

[K1power]

But I'm somewhat breaking the forum rules, I should set the right example..

That's just awful.

RIP.

As much as I dislike khabib, his father seemed to be a decent person. RIP.

[K1power]

Very classy.

Hope we'll see him around as a commentator or trainer.

[K1power]

Bulaid moving to MMA as well. I hope he does well, but it sucks for kickboxing fans.
