McGregor's career, lately, has been limited to promoting his brand of Whiskey. After his defeat to Khabib NurmagomedovIn October last year, at UFC 229, the Irishman retired from fighting, even announcing his retirement at the end of March. The athlete, however, didn't take long to regret it and return his focus to MMA.
