McGregor's hunger and confidence has really wained in the last few years. It's also difficult to paint him as the main event now unless its a Poirier/Diaz rematch which I'm not sure Conor will fancy. A long hiatus will do him no favours either.
It's also time to jump to a new trainer. He's done well with Straight Blast Gym but needs a freshness to his camp at this point (arguably needed it two years ago).
