Despite his latest injury setback, Conor McGregor is eager to see out his contract with the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
McGregor (22-7) returned to action for the first time since 2021 in a rematch against Max Holloway at UFC 329 in Las Vegas. His much-awaited return ended in massive disappointment as “Notorious” injured his knee with the first kick he threw. McGregor was barely able to stay upright after the injury, prompting the referee to call a stop to the contest in just 69 seconds.

Conor McGregor says surgery comes first before he attempts one last fight under his current UFC deal
With his Octagon return ending in such anticlimactic and devastating fashion, many believe McGregor won’t return to the Octagon again, especially considering his vast wealth. However, the former two-division champion seemingly hasn’t given up yet. He recently reiterated his faith in God while revealing his plans.
“My faith is unconditional and I am thankful I get to prove it! My lifestyle changes are permanent and not just until. I am thankful I get to prove it,” McGregor wrote on Instagram. “I am in sin city and remain completely devoid of all sin. I will not open that door nor crack its seal! I am already back to collecting wins! In Jesus name I pray! Church was intense today, my heart is heavy but through Christ my mind is STRONG! I am so grateful to see my family fall more in love with God each day! I am a child of God. I am a friend of God. God makes a way for me where there seems to be no way. I am not a victim of my circumstances, I overcome them. God is at work in me to will and to work his good pleasure! My youth is being renewed like the eagles! In Jesus I am thoroughly loved, cherished, adored. I walk in divine health. I live under supernatural protection. All things work out for my good! All things are possible for me because I am a believer!”
The Dubliner claims he wants to undergo surgery before returning to finish the last remaining fight on his current UFC contract.
“Surgery. Prehab. Return to martial arts practice. Go again. Final fight of the contract. Please God! I trust in You Lord! Show me Your way. Thank You God 🙏”
