It had been previously reported that former UFC superstar Conor McGregor suddenly went into retirement, making the announcement via his Twitter account.
According to a report from the New York Times, the Bad Boy of MMA is currently under investigation in his home country of Ireland, after a woman accused him of sexual assault in December.
From the report:
McGregor has not been charged with a crime. Following the usual protocol in criminal investigations in Ireland and much of Europe, where a formal charge does not necessarily follow an arrest, McGregor was arrested in January, questioned by law enforcement authorities and released pending further investigation, according to the people.
The allegations have not been proved, and the fact that an investigation is continuing does not imply that he is guilty of a crime. A lawyer for McGregor in Dublin did not respond to messages seeking comment.
He recently appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon to discuss his future; you can see that interview below:
