Conor McGregor after training in Iceland: “No, I´m retired. Fuck interviews” By Kolbeinn Tumi Daðason 19. apríl 2016 21:51 Many belive Conor McGregor's tweet shouldn't be taken too seriously. He might have a change of heart tomorrow. Vísir/Getty UFC star Conor McGregor sparked a social media frenzy tonight announcing his retirement on Twitter. McGregor, currently visiting Iceland, refused an Icelandic MMA reporter an interview earlier tonight. Pétur Marinó Jónsson, writer at MMA Fréttir, asked McGregor for a word after training tonight. The answer was short but serious according to local news site Vísir: “No, I'm retired. Fuck interviews.” McGregor arrived in Iceland Monday with his crew and was training with fighting club Mjolnir today. Local fans have asked for a picture with the UFC star, like this young Icelander downtown Reykjavik Monday night.
