Conor McGregor, the biggest superstar of the UFC, has been out of action for the past three years. His fight against rival Michael Chandler was scheduled for UFC 303, but just weeks before the clash, the Irish fighter injured his toe and had to withdraw from the fight.
However, ‘The Notorious’ is focused on making his comeback in 2025. He has just two fights left on his UFC contract and is planning to make a big return, aiming to generate huge pay-per-view numbers and own the top 10 selling pay-per-view fights list. He has already headlined eight fights in the top 10. The former two-division champion took to X to share this.
“7 out of 10 highest ppv’s, NO! I have 8 of the highest! I outsold UFC 100! I have the documentation to prove it. By end of my contract I will hold the entire top 10.”
