Mixed martial arts champion Conor McGregor has announced his retirement on Twitter.
McGregor, 30, wrote: “Hey guys quick announcement, I’ve decided to retire from the sport formally known as ‘Mixed Martial Art’ today.
“I wish all my old colleagues well going forward in competition.
“I now join my former partners on this venture, already in retirement. Proper Pina Coladas on me fellas!”
The move comes just days after the UFC fighter was arrested in Miami Beach after allegedly smashing a fan’s phone.
He was charged with strong-arm robbery and criminal mischief and was released from custody in the Florida city after posting his bond of $12,500 (£9,450).
At the time, the Miami Herald said McGregor had been in Florida for a couple of weeks on holiday as he prepared for a comeback.
McGregor started his MMA career in 2008 and won both the Cage Warriors Featherweight and Lightweight Championships in 2012. He held both titles simultaneously before vacating them to sign with the UFC.
He is the biggest pay-per-view (PPV) draw in MMA history, headlining four out of the six highest-selling UFC pay-per-view events. McGregor’s boxing match with Floyd Mayweather drew 4.3m PPV buys in North America – the second most in history.
