Conor McGregor, the prominent figure in mixed martial arts, is scheduled to return to the UFC on July 11, 2026, where he will face Max Holloway at UFC 329. This fight marks McGregor's first return to the Octagon since his leg injury in 2021. Following this bout, McGregor has two fights left on his current UFC contract and could become a free agent by 2027. While there has been speculation about McGregor potentially joining Netflix for a high-profile MMA event, BKFC president David Feldman suggests that McGregor is more inclined to fight for Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC), where he holds a part-ownership stake. Feldman expressed confidence that McGregor will prioritize BKFC, stating that McGregor has previously indicated his intention to compete in bare-knuckle boxing. The outcome of McGregor's upcoming fights will be pivotal in determining his next steps in combat sports.
