Conor McGregor to retire after being beaten by Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229? Bookmakers SLASH odds after flurry of bets

The 30-year-old Irishman was outclassed and mauled by the Russian brawler, who forced him to tap from a rear naked choke in the fourth round.

He could not deal with his opponents takedowns and awkward style all night, and struggled after being out of the Octagon for two-years.

There are huge question marks about what will happen now, following ugly scenes and crowd brawls after the bout.

And bookmakers SportNation.Bet believe this could be the end of McGregor in the UFC after the defeat.

He has been cut down 10-1 down and 6-1 to call it quits now following a flurry of bets, and is even shorter elsewhere.

Georgia Wilson of SportNation.Bet said: "As usual McGregor has talked the talk in the run up to this fight.

"But the market suggests, this looks set to be his toughest test to date and as such we’ve cut the odds that it’s the bout to end his UFC career. “

Three of Khabib's team were arrested and later released after the scenes following the fight.
