I have July 11 and I have<br \/>\n\u2013&nbsp;where would you think they would put me back in? When would<br \/>\nyou think they would put me back in? April 2027. It&#8217;s almost a year<br \/>\nlater. That&#8217;s ridiculous to me. No? This is the way the contract<br \/>\nwas done. I have my second date in April 2027.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>A Different Type of Deal<\/h2>\n<p>McGregor also discussed how he was able to come to terms for his<br \/>\nOctagon return. Under his previous contract, the Dublin native<br \/>\nreceived points as part of the UFC\u2019s previous pay-per-view model.<br \/>\nWith the new media rights agreement with Paramount+, all UFC<br \/>\nnumbered events are available through a subscription fee on the<br \/>\nstreaming platform. That made the financial aspect of McGregor\u2019s<br \/>\ncontract a little different than in the past. With that being said,<br \/>\nthe \u201cNotorious\u201d appears to have hope for another UFC contract once<br \/>\nthe current one is fulfilled.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m happy, to an extent,\u201d McGregor said. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot more<br \/>\nthere. I hope it\u2019s with the UFC. I hope we come to something. I<br \/>\nhope I get honored even more. I\u2019m going to prove even more so what<br \/>\nI\u2019m about.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We met in the middle. We got a juicy one. Was it what my worth is?<br \/>\nProbably not. Was it what they wanted to offer? Definitely not.<br \/>\nDefinitely not. We met in the middle. I&#8217;m a fair operator. I love<br \/>\nthe Ultimate Fighting Championship, and I&#8217;d love to continue.
