Conor McGregor is seemingly enjoying a lavish retired life. And why not? The Irish superstar has amassed a reported net worth of over $100 million from his fighting career. He no longer needs to step inside the octagon to earn a living.

Instead, he is bagging even bigger checks every day with his several other lucrative businesses in fashion, media, advertisement, and ‘Proper No. Twelve’ Whiskey. Despite teasing a potential return to the UFC several times, Conor doesn’t look very sure about it.

Dana White also stated that the ‘Notorious’ has retired. And to validate the claim, Conor has once again posted a retirement picture on his Instagram story. The UFC dual champion is spotted relaxing with an elderly man. For fans who have been wondering who he is, he is Liam Flynn. McGregor and Fynn have partnered together to own the Black Forge pub in Drimnagh, Dublin.
