Former UFC double champion Conor McGregor’s manager has shared insight into what the Irishman plans to do after his fight with Max Holloway in July.
After staying out of action for five years, McGregor is finally set to return to the octagon in the main event of UFC 329 to run it back with Holloway. The fight is a five-round welterweight contest.
After the “Blessed” fight, “The Notorious” will likely have one fight left in his contract. However, after the UFC’s Paramount deal, it is unclear if the Dubliner has signed a new multi-fight deal with the promotion. McGregor has, however, admitted that the UFC offered him a lucrative deal and that he’s happy with the numbers, and now feels more motivated than ever. During a recent sitdown, speaking about the Holloway rematch, he said:
“I’ve got a great deal off the UFC. They honored me, finally.”
