Conor Mcgregor Next Fight: McGregor Says UFC Has Great Deal Before UFC 329

Conor McGregor next fight is 47 days away, and the former UFC two-division champion says he has a great deal with the UFC before his return against Max Holloway. The rematch headlines UFC 329, with McGregor already framing the deal around his comeback and the business around it.

McGregor And Holloway

McGregor said, "I've got a great deal off the UFC." He also said, "They honored me, finally." Those comments came as he moved closer to his return to the Octagon after five years away.

Holloway gives the bout a clear sporting edge beyond the contract talk. He is a former UFC Featherweight and "BMF" champion, and the fight sits in the main event of UFC 329 rather than on the undercard.

Ariel Helwani On The Deal

Ariel Helwani said the UFC did not sign McGregor to an extension, even though the promotion wanted one. He said the Holloway fight would be McGregor's first of two remaining fights on his current UFC contract.

That leaves McGregor's next move tied tightly to one night. Helwani said his next step is extremely contingent on how the fight on Saturday, July 11, plays out, and he added that a McGregor fight on the open market would command a lot of money.

UFC 329 Stakes

McGregor started the media rounds under seven weeks before UFC 329 to preview the rematch and address his relationship with UFC brass. The fight now carries a second layer of importance: it is not only his return, but also the first of the two bouts left on the deal he says he has with the UFC.

That setup gives fans a clear read on what comes next. The result against Holloway will shape how McGregor moves through the rest of his contract, while the promotion already has its main-event return centered on one of the sport's biggest names.
