Overview
- McGregor said on a livestream that his PPV-based contract is 'essentially' void and that he will enter negotiations with the UFC in February.
- Reports note it is unclear whether the broadcast shift legally nullifies his existing agreement, which is said to have two fights remaining.
- He declared he is training for the UFC’s planned White House card in June, with Dana White having ruled out Michael Chandler as his opponent for that event.
- Jorge Masvidal hinted he is training for 'something big' and analysts such as Michael Bisping say McGregor vs. Masvidal would fit the event’s spectacle, though no bout is confirmed.
- McGregor has not fought since 2021 and is serving an 18-month whereabouts suspension, with eligibility reported around March 20 and no competition allowed before April.
