EBANIE BRIDGES already has a plan in place for retirement after going into business with Conor McGregor.
The IBF bantamweight champion returns on Saturday in San Francisco, defending her belt against Miyo Yoshida.
And she will do so sponsored by McGregor's Forged Irish Stout.
Bridges has formed a partnership with the brand and the UFC legend himself.
She told Lucky Block: "Obviously, mine and his collaboration is a little bit deeper.

“I’m a face for Forged Stout now. I can learn a lot from him as well for when I finish boxing – and what he's doing in business, I think is really inspiring.
“It was natural and we'll be working together for the remainder of my career. We work really well together.
"I'm great for his brand and he's great for my brand, and we get along really well.”
Bridges, 37, was due to face Avril Mathie, 36, in what she dubbed the "Battle of the Boobs" but her Aussie rival pulled out.
Meanwhile McGregor, 35, has been out since July 2021 when he broke his leg against Dustin Poirier, 34, in the first round.
But he is now set to return next year against Michael Chandler, 37, with the Irishman preparing for the bout.
Bridges revealed: “I don’t know who it will be but I know he’s training. I’ve seen clips of him training and he’s busy in the gym.
“I don’t know if he puts it on his socials. I don’t really look at his social pages to be fair, but I’ve obviously seen some of his training stuff that he’s done.”
