Conor McGregor has officially confirmed his long-anticipated UFC comeback, ending months of speculation about his fighting future. The Irishman made the announcement during an appearance on Fox News’ Hannity, where he revealed that his return is already a “done deal” and that fans can expect nothing short of fireworks when he steps back inside the Octagon.
“It ain’t a negotiation,” McGregor declared, making it clear that his return has been signed, sealed, and delivered.
A massive deal on the table
According to McGregor, the comeback fight will be part of a landmark $7.7 billion agreement signed with Paramount, with full approval from UFC president and CEO Dana White. The fight, which is set to take place in June, will reportedly coincide with a White House-hosted celebration marking the United States’ 250th year of independence.
For Conor McGregor, the opportunity represents more than just another fight—it’s a chance to make history on a global stage.
“Right now, we’re eight months out. Dial a few things in, you know, close off a bit of business endeavors and then isolate myself in training camp in preparation to put on one hell of a show for the American people in celebration of their great birthday, 250 years of independence, and I pray it can ignite the support for the people of Ireland,” he explained.
Training camp ahead of historic showdown
Though McGregor has not competed in the UFC for several years, he has committed to a strict six-month training camp ahead of the match-up. The former two-division champion admitted that the time away has allowed him to focus on business ventures, but now his energy will be devoted entirely to preparing for what could be one of the most significant bouts in MMA history.
Fans have eagerly awaited the star’s return ever since his last appearance, and the confirmation has reignited excitement across the combat sports community. With Conor McGregor’s unmatched charisma and ability to draw massive audiences, his comeback is set to generate huge buzz both in and outside the UFC.
A return like no other
Conor McGregor’s announcement signals not just the return of a fighter but the revival of an era. Known for his fierce striking, sharp wit, and unmatched star power, the Irishman is determined to deliver a performance worthy of the occasion. Whether viewed as a comeback story or a spectacle, the June fight promises to be one of the most talked-about events of the year.
