Overview
- Dana White said Saturday after UFC Winnipeg that talks on Conor McGregor’s comeback are “looking good” and that the UFC will announce it once a deal is signed.
- No contract, opponent, or date has been finalized or announced by the promotion.
- Reports link a potential return to July 11 during International Fight Week at UFC 329 in Las Vegas, though that timing remains unconfirmed.
- If booked, McGregor would fight for the first time since July 2021 after breaking his leg against Dustin Poirier, and a planned 2024 bout with Michael Chandler was canceled when McGregor broke a toe.
- The new Paramount streaming model replaced traditional pay‑per‑view points, which means both sides must set pay terms without the PPV bonuses that long anchored McGregor’s earnings.
