“Big Chance” – Conor McGregor Reveals What He Plans to Announce After His Last UFC Fight
Conor McGregor has revealed what he wants to do once he hangs up his UFC gloves.
The Irishman is game to return to the octagon for one last dance next year during International Fight Week. He already has Max Holloway in his crosshairs, especially after what happened at UFC 329.
Once “The Notorious” fulfills his UFC contract, he knows what he wants to do next, and has revealed the same to his fans.
Conor McGregor Reveals His Plans After His Final UFC Fight
Conor McGregor, during a candid chat with Ruben von Malotky said he plans to hang up his gloves inside the octagon, only to announce his move to Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC), a promotion he partially owns.
The Irishman also opined that while bare-knuckle boxing is a tough man’s sport that demands courage, being a mixed martial artist is even harder. However, he left the door open to signing another MMA contract once his current UFC deal, which has just one fight remaining, is over. Here’s what “The Notorious” said:
“Bare-knuckle, I really enjoy bare-knuckle fighting. I don’t think there is any chance of a boring fight in bare-knuckle. Now I am a mixed martial artist. Maybe I am just saying this because I had a bad time out the last time [at UFC 329]. To be really good at MMA is hard. Bare knuckle is really exciting, very dangerous, and it takes courage… I am looking forward to a bare-knuckle fight myself.”
“Big chance [fans will see Conor McGgor in BKFC’s squared circle]. I am gonna lay off my gloves in that octagon after finishing my UFC contract, but not to retire. To announce bare-knuckle.”

McGregor returned to the octagon earlier this year after a five-year hiatus at UFC 329 to run it back with Max Holloway. However, his comeback lasted just 69 seconds, as he suffered a TKO loss (due to injury) after tearing his ACL and meniscus in his right knee while attempting a wild flying kick in the opening seconds of the bout that missed its target.
Despite suffering back-to-back career-threatening injuries, the former UFC double champion remains determined to make another comeback. He has already undergone surgery and is now focused on recovery and rehabilitation before returning to the gym and resuming full-time MMA training.
