Conor McGregor targets bare knuckle boxing debut after his final UFC fight

Conor McGregor remains under contract with the UFC following his main event appearance at UFC 329. The bout against Max Holloway ended prematurely when McGregor suffered a torn ACL during his first strike, a flying switch kick. This appearance fulfilled one of the remaining obligations on his current agreement, leaving him with one fight left on his contract. Following the match, McGregor stated in a social media video that he intends to transition to the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship once he secures his release from the UFC. While McGregor has not recorded a victory since 2020, he remains an active investor in the bare-knuckle promotion. He has expressed interest in various potential future matchups, but has identified a debut in the BKFC ring as his primary objective once he becomes a free agent.
