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 🙏”
