What will Conor McGregor’s major announcement at UFC 205 be?

Conor McGregor has once again teased fans with talk of a major announcement at UFC 205, which is being held at Madison Square Garden in New York City on the 12 November.

The Notorious One first hinted something big was on the horizon after he defeated Nate Diaz at UFC 202, saying in the post-fight press conference: ‘s*** was about to hit the fan.’

But what will this announcement be? Here’s a list of some rumours doing the rounds at the moment.

Taking a break

The first rumour is that McGregor simply wants a break. The Dubliner has always boasted about how he’s active and fights every few months, unlike some other fighters, but maybe all this hard work has finally caught up with the featherweight champ?

Becoming a father

The second rumour is that McGregor’s partner, Dee Devlin, is expecting a baby and the Pride of Ireland wants to take some time off to be there for mini McGregor.

Team McGregor

The third rumour is one that’s picking up pace as UFC 205 draws nearer and it’s that McGregor is going to announce some sort of business venture. He already has a news site called “The Mac Life” where behind the scenes videos of McGregor’s training camp are posted, as well as exclusive interviews with “Mystic Mac”. This is likely to be something completely new, though, and along the lines of a “Mayweather Productions” formed by boxing sensation Floyd Mayweather, a man McGregor seems to want to beat inside and now outside of the ring, too.

What we do know is that it’s going to be big, with McGregor recently telling  that people who can’t be at UFC 205 need to buy the pay-per-view and not blink as “it’s going to be big.”
