Nate Diaz Also Says He's Retiring, What's Going On?

After Conor McGregor abruptly announced his plans to retire young in a tweet that we’re still not sure what to make of, his scheduled UFC 200 opponent Nate Diaz has done the same:

I guess my work here is done I'm retiring too✌?️??

It’s unclear if these announcements were coordinated together, if they’re real, and/or if they’re some sort of negotiating ploy to up the fighters’ compensation.

Meanwhile, UFC reporter Ariel Helwani tweeted:

Multiple sources are adamant at this time that McGregor's tweet isn't a joke, troll job or hoax of any kind. Reason(s) behind it is unclear.

Are “at this time” the key words there?

It’s been a crazy afternoon…

UPDATE: It is believed that Diaz was joking. McGregor’s situation remains ongoing.
