Conor McGregor has opened up about his future in the UFC.
Conor McGregor is undoubtedly the biggest star that the UFC has ever seen. However, he has been out of action for quite some time and has fought just 3 three times since 2019.
His last fight was against Dustin Poirier back in July 2021. In what was a trilogy fight between the two, McGregor suffered a nasty leg injury and lost the fight via doctor’s stoppage. Since then he has been teased for a return multiple times.
However, nothing looks certain at the moment. Thankfully for the fans, it looks like Conor McGregor is looking to see out his current contract with the UFC. During a recent press conference for his upcoming movie Road House, McGregor revealed that he still has two fights left in his UFC contract.
