Joe Rogan explains why he \u201cdoesn\u2019t buy\u201d Conor McGregor\u2019s retirement YouTube: JRE\/WikimediaPopular US podcaster and UFC commentator Joe Rogan has weighed in on Conor McGregor\u2019s shock retirement announcement, revealing why he has his doubts that it\u2019s genuine. Joe Rogan is host to the wildly successful \u2018Joe Rogan Experience\u2019 podcast, which pulls in millions of viewers and listeners per episode and has featured stars such as Robert Downey Jr, Elon Musk, and much more. However, away from podcasting, he has a background in competitive mixed-martial-arts commentating, and is friends with UFC entrepreneur Dana White. He has now weighed in on the Conor McGregor situation, after the Irish superstar announced a shock retirement on June 6. \u201cHey guys I\u2019ve decided to retire from fighting,\u201d McGregor tweeted. \u201cThank you all for the amazing memories! What a ride it\u2019s been! Here is a picture of myself and my mother in Las Vegas post one of my World title wins!\u201d Speaking to ESPN, the podcast host stated: \u201cI don\u2019t buy it for a second! Conor McGregor\u2019s trying to get you to talk about him, and you just did. What better way to get people to talk about him when there\u2019s a spectacular fight \u2013 filled with people dominating.\u201d Skepticism has reigned since McGregor announced his retirement; the Irish fighter has, in the past, moved away from fighting only to return some months later. Topic starts at 2:25 \u201cWhat he did was hijack the situation!\u201d Rogan finished, \u201cand say he\u2019s retiring. I\u2019m not buying it!\u201d The host interviewing Rogan gave a smile and joked that the fact they were discussing McGregor meant it was \u201cmission accomplished\u201d for the Irish MMA star. Only McGregor knows if he actually intends to retire, or whether the whole thing has been a publicity stunt of sorts. Rogan, for his part, clearly believes it is the latter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
