Conor McGregor Confirms 2 UFC Fights Left, With Return Set for July 11 and April 2027

3 articles · Updated · MMA Junkie · Jun 16

Summary

  • Conor McGregor said his current UFC deal covers only two remaining bouts — a July 11 return against Max Holloway at UFC 329 and a second fight already scheduled for April 2027.
  • The unusual gap of nearly a year between dates frustrates McGregor, who said the delay came from the UFC's side after his five-year absence from competition.
  • McGregor also said he has not signed an extension and expects his contract to expire next year, though he wants to keep fighting in the promotion.
  • The new deal comes after UFC's move away from pay-per-view under its Paramount arrangement, with McGregor saying his purse was a compromise and "probably not" his full worth.
