Related Topics: Conor McGregor, UFC

Former two-division UFC champion Conor McGregor has declared his current UFC contract essentially void following the promotion’s landmark broadcast deal with Paramount, setting the stage for contract renegotiations in February 2026.

McGregor made the assertion during a Roblox livestream with his son and content creator Caylus on January 18, claiming the elimination of the pay-per-view model has fundamentally altered the terms of his existing agreement. The Irish fighter, who has not competed since July 2021, remains under contract for two additional fights but argues the financial structure underpinning that deal no longer exists.u200b
