Conor McGregor signs new UFC deal ahead of return at UFC 329

Conor McGregor has finalized a new contract with the UFC as he prepares for his return at UFC 329 during International Fight Week 2026. McGregor is set to face Max Holloway in a rematch 13 years after their initial bout, where McGregor won. The revised agreement follows the UFC's recent deal with Paramount+, which shifted the compensation structure for fighters, leading McGregor to seek updated terms. Despite reaching an agreement, McGregor expressed that he feels the UFC still does not match his perceived worth, although he is somewhat satisfied with the financial aspects of the deal. He aims to prove his value in upcoming fights, with this bout marking one of the two remaining on his current contract.
