Conor McGregor has once again proven that he’s the master of keeping the world guessing. While fans were waiting for his UFC return, the Irishman threw a curveball that no one had seen coming. Former UFC Champ caused a storm on social media, announcing that he’s heading to India for a boxing exhibition against Logan Paul. But the surprise doesn’t end there – Mukesh Ambani, Asia’s richest man, orchestrated the entire event.
Rumors about McGregor’s return have been circulating, and this time, whispers suggest a showdown with Ilia Topuria. This all came after Dana White hinted that he’s bringing fights in 2025 that no one would expect. McGregor shut down the rumors about a fight with Topuria, calling them false. However, he revealed that his first fight will be against Logan Paul, as he’s in preliminary talks with the Ambanis for a boxing exhibition match. The plot continues to thicken.
“The rumors of a bout with topurio are false. I am in preliminary agreements with the Ambani family to face Logan Paul in a boxing exhibition in India. I have agreed, I will then seek my return to the Octagon,” McGregor wrote on X.

I have agreed.
I will then seek my return to the Octagon.
This unexpected announcement has left fans and pundits alike scrambling to process the news, with many now wondering if McGregor’s plans have shifted in a completely different direction.
This could very well be McGregor’s latest trolling attempt or another calculated move to grab attention, something he’s a master at. If the fight is real, it might be months away, but the hype surrounding it is already at an all-time high.
