Mixed martial arts fighter, Conor McGregor has announced he is retiring from the sport at the age of 31. 

The two-division UFC World Champion made the announcement via his Twitter account on Sunday morning.

He wrote: ‘Hey guys I’ve decided to retire from fighting.

Thank you all for the amazing memories! What a ride it’s been!

Pick the home of your dreams Mags I love you!

Whatever you desire it’s yours.’
