Bleacher Report • • sports
Key Points:
- Conor McGregor is set to return to the octagon next month against Max Holloway at UFC 329, with his subsequent fight scheduled for April 2027 as the final bout on his current UFC contract.
- McGregor revealed that the UFC did not attempt to extend his contract beyond the two remaining fights, making him a potential free agent after April 2027.
- He disclosed negotiations for a $200 million two-fight boxing deal with Terence Crawford, which ultimately fell through after Crawford declined.
- McGregor’s free-agent status could open doors to various opportunities, including bare-knuckle boxing through his co-ownership of BKFC and potential high-profile matches against Jake Paul or a trilogy fight with Nate Diaz under Most Valuable Promotions.
- His upcoming fight with Holloway on July 11 is highly anticipated, but significant attention is also on McGregor’s future prospects outside the UFC once his contract expires.
