UFC lightweight rivals Cerrone, Iaquinta not convinced McGregor will retire. MORE:
Iaquinta, Cerrone not buying McGregor's retirement, excited for showdown in OttawaTORONTO — Conor McGregor's apparent retirement has removed a marquee name — and huge payday — from the ranks of UFC lightweights.
Cerrone, for one, doesn't believe that the 30-year-old McGregor will follow through on his social media retirement post. Needing a fight, Cerrone agreed to meet Iaquinta . The matchup was announced last week, less than seven weeks before fight night at Canadian Tire Centre. McGregor was arrested in Miami Beach earlier this month for stealing the phone of someone trying to take his photo, authorities said. McGregor was charged with robbery and criminal mischief, but his lawyer described the altercation as minor.
Nurmagomedov and McGregor are both serving Nevada State Athletic Commission suspensions for their roles in the brawl that followed Nurmagomedov's win over the Irish icon at UFC 229 last October.
