Former two-division champion, Conor McGregor has confirmed he retains just a pair of fights on his current contract with the UFC – and reveals negotiations are currently underway for him to finally book the first of those two outings with the promotion.
McGregor, a former undisputed lightweight and featherweight champion, has been sidelined since 2021, most recently headlining UFC 264 in a trilogy rubber match fight with former interim lightweight titleholder, recent UFC 299 big winner, Dustin Poirier.
And fracturing his left tibia and fibula in brutal fashion against the Lafayette native leading to a first round doctor’s stoppage TKO loss – McGregor returned early last year to coach The Ultmate Fighter 31 against Michael Chandler – with a view to the pair fighting after the seasonal finale.
