Dan Hooker advises Conor McGregor to transition to boxing

Dan Hooker suggests Conor McGregor should consider boxing as he nears the end of his fighting career. McGregor sustained a knee injury just 69 seconds into his rematch with Max Holloway at UFC 329 on July 14, 2026, leading to speculation about his future in MMA. Hooker believes that the physical demands of MMA may be too much for McGregor's body, especially after a significant layoff due to a prior leg injury. He argues that boxing could be a lucrative option for McGregor, who expressed interest in a rematch with Floyd Mayweather prior to his fight with Holloway.
