Conor McGregor, a leading name in mixed martial arts, is preparing for his return to the Octagon this summer after a lengthy absence of over three years. He will headline UFC 329 against Max Holloway, a rematch from their first fight in Boston over a decade ago, where McGregor emerged victorious. Despite the excitement surrounding his return, McGregor has declined a contract extension with the UFC, indicating he is not interested in remaining with the promotion beyond his current deal, which has only two fights left. During an appearance on Schein Time, MMA journalist Ariel Helwani highlighted the significance of McGregor's return, noting the UFC's desire to secure him for future events. With major streaming platforms like Netflix and Amazon increasingly investing in sports rights, McGregor's potential availability could spark significant interest. His upcoming fight against Holloway will be a crucial factor in determining his next steps in the sport, which may include boxing and bare-knuckle fighting opportunities.
