Conor McGregor Targets International Fight Week 2027 for Possible Final UFC Fight

Conor McGregor Targets International Fight Week 2027 for Possible Final UFC Fight

Conor McGregor says he is targeting International Fight Week 2027 for what could be the final fight on his UFC contract after a serious knee injury reportedly halted his comeback against Max Holloway at UFC 329. McGregor said he tore his ACL and meniscus after throwing an early kick, leaving him facing surgery and a long rehabilitation. UFC CEO Dana White has reportedly said the former two-division champion could be out for at least a year. The Irish fighter described a possible 2027 return as “The Last Dance” and wants a trilogy bout with Holloway. However, the UFC has not confirmed the matchup, and questions remain over whether McGregor can return to elite level after another major leg injury.

Fair point, 2027 gives him a decent runway, and a final-fight build-up would surely be massive.

It is striking that a comeback aimed at Max Holloway was reportedly halted by such a serious knee injury. Recovery may shape everything now.

Has there been any official update on whether he is actually cleared to return?

Calling it a final fight this far ahead feels premature. A lot can change before 2027, particularly after a major injury.

The sensible focus is rehabilitation first, then a gradual return plan. Setting a date is less important than ensuring the knee can handle camp.
