Conor McGregor has publicly stated his desire for a final fight under his current UFC contract to take place during International Fight Week in Las Vegas next summer. He specifically called for the bout to be against Max Holloway.
The call for a 2027 fight, as reported by ESPN and ESPN Australia, represents McGregor’s vision for concluding his contractual obligations with the promotion. No details regarding potential negotiations or UFC approval of this request have been released. This announcement comes without any indication of McGregor's current physical condition or timeline for returning to training after a previous leg injury.
The proposed fight against Holloway would be a rematch, as the two fighters previously competed in December 2019, with McGregor winning by TKO in the first round. No right-leaning outlets have reported on this development. The timing of the announcement – targeting International Fight Week in Las Vegas for 2027 – suggests McGregor is looking at a specific timeframe and location for what he intends to be his final fight.
The next steps remain unclear, as confirmation from the UFC regarding McGregor's request and potential negotiations with Holloway are still pending.
