McGregor Vents UFC Frustration
Conor McGregor vented his frustration over stalled UFC negotiations in a now-deleted tweet, despite recently indicating openness to returning against a "no name" opponent. The deleted message suggests ongoing tensions between McGregor and the promotion as fans watch closely to see whether he will book his next fight or continue his public standoff.
- McGregor's frustration stems from a long layoff since his last fight in July 2021, where he suffered a broken tibia in a TKO loss to Dustin Poirier. - He has been targeting a return for a proposed UFC event at the White House in June 2026. - The fighter has recently claimed his current UFC contract is "void" due to the promotion's new $7.7 billion broadcast deal with Paramount+, which moves away from the pay-per-view model his earnings were tied to. - For over a year, McGregor was expected to fight Michael Chandler, with whom he coached the 31st season of *The Ultimate Fighter* in 2023. - A previously scheduled bout between McGregor and Chandler for UFC 303 in June 2024 was canceled after McGregor withdrew with a broken toe. - Despite the history with Chandler, UFC President Dana White has indicated the promotion is no longer pursuing that matchup, leading McGregor to state his next opponent might be a "no-name".
