Probably not. I mean, that was a fight he probably should not have taken. The two guys normally fight at different weights. It doesn't hurt McGregor all that much professionally when he jumps up in weight on short notice and loses. Plus, he made one million dollars from that match and turned his opponent's face bloody before he lost by submission.
I think it's either that he's questioning the risks he's taking after watching someone die from injuries taken during an MMA fight or that he's trying to angle for more money and leverage in the UFC. With regards to the first, he's already worth millions and has no actual need to ever work again.
