Conor McGregor says he has just two fights remaining on his current UFC deal, with specific dates already locked in, including his return against Max Holloway at UFC 329 on July 11.
McGregor stated that his second contracted bout is scheduled for April 2027 and described having both dates written into the agreement as unusual compared to standard UFC contracts. He also said he has not signed a contract extension ahead of the Holloway fight.
"I have both dates for my fights. I have July 11th and I have – where would you think they would put me back in? When would you think they would put me back in? April 2027. It's almost a year later. That's ridiculous to me. No? This is the way the contract was done. I have my second date in April 2027."
McGregor indicated he was eager to finalize the deal, saying, "I'm like, 'Huh? Just give me the f*cking contract,'" and added that he is focused on the upcoming July 11 bout: "It gets to that stage. I have July 11th. It's only around the corner. That's positivity; that's happiness. I got the date. I feel great. Bring it on. The Mac is back, and I'm going to put on a show. This is a martial arts delight, this bout. This is a fan favorite iconic bout."
Discussing the terms, McGregor said, "We got a juicy one. Was it what my worth is? Probably not. Was it what they wanted to offer? Definitely not. Definitely not. We met in the middle. I'm a fair operator. I love the Ultimate Fighting Championship, and I'd love to continue. Let's see how it goes," and added, "I hope it is with the UFC. I hope we come to something. I hope I get honored even more. I'm going to prove even more what I'm about."
