Conor McGregor challenged by cocky Rafael Dos Anjos to come out of retirement and fight

Since the ‘Conor McGregor retirement' news hit the headlines last week, various UFC fighters and combat sports athletes have voiced their opinion regarding it. While many UFC fans expressed their gratitude towards Conor McGregor and acknowledged him for an illustrious MMA career, a bunch of UFC fighters including undefeated boxer Floyd Mayweather has gone on to mock the Irishman for his ‘early retirement’. ‘The Notorious’ was yet to respond to his critics while another UFC fighter, Rafael Dos Anjos has already challenged him for a contest. Conor McGregor and Rafael Dos Anjos have had a ‘history’ between them since they were expected to face off in the 2015-2016 season. However, the matchup could not be materialised back then and the duo remained unmatched throughout their UFC career till this date. Now, when Conor McGregor has already expressed his interest in relinquishing his UFC career, Rafael Dos Anjos has seemingly re-ignited his urge of fighting Conor McGregor inside the octagon.
