UFC star Conor McGregor told GQ Magazine in a recent interview that he fully intends to leave the MMA game before he suffers a series of concussions or other serious injuries.

“I am not stupid. I am a very bright guy,” he recently told the UK’s version of GQ Magazine.

“I know that in the fighting game, you get people who get brain damage and do themselves long-term harm. I am into it in a big way, and I am good at it,” he said of MMA and fighting in the UFC. I am going to get very, very rich and then I will get out, and we will see what comes after that.”

McGregor is scheduled to fight Jose Aldo at UFC 194 for the featherweight title in the main event. The event will be held on December 12, 2015 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas,
