'I don’t believe in it. I think it’s a bunch of tomfoolery. I don’t think he’s retiring.'
The Irish star has been angling for a piece of the UFC, something president Dana White has said will never happen."He agreed, we agreed. Then he just went radio-silent," said the 35-year-old Cerrone.
In April 2018, McGregor was charged with assault and criminal mischief after he attacked a bus carrying UFC fighters — including Iaquinta — outside Barclays Center in Brooklyn. McGregor, who was responding to a perceived slight against a teammate, eventually pleaded no contest to a count of disorderly conduct.
Iaquinta fought Nurmagomedov on one day’s notice at UFC 223 last April, losing a five-round decision.
