McGregor Vows "Final Fight" Amid Injury Update
2 Nov
Summary
- McGregor plans his final fight, aiming for record sales.
- He sustained a second consecutive fight-ending injury.
- McGregor denies sexual assault allegations, lost appeal.
Conor McGregor has indicated that his upcoming bout will be his final professional fight. This announcement follows his recent return to the octagon, which concluded with another injury. McGregor sustained a torn ACL and meniscus in his first kick of the fight against Max Holloway this past summer, marking his second consecutive fight ending in a similar fashion after his 2021 leg break.
McGregor, whose current UFC contract is nearing its end, expressed his intent to maximize the sales potential for his final fight. He asserted his ability to outsell numerous other major sporting events, even combined. Despite a career marked by significant success and record-breaking pay-per-view numbers, McGregor has also faced controversies, including being found liable for a 2018 sexual assault, a verdict he denies and has unsuccessfully appealed.
His last victory was in 2020 against Donald Cerrone. Since then, his fights have resulted in a knockout loss, a broken leg, and the recent injury. Both Max Holloway and Conor Benn have recently expressed interest in facing McGregor in his potential final match.
