Conor McGregor, who fought Max Holloway at UFC 329 two weeks ago, has outlined his future plans. The fight ended early after McGregor suffered an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury at the start, leading to a quick loss. He is scheduled for surgery soon and will be sidelined for several months.

McGregor revealed that he has one fight remaining on his UFC contract and wants to take it in the summer of 2027 in Las Vegas during International Fight Week. He clearly stated he wishes to face Holloway again. The two previously met in 2013, with McGregor winning.

Holloway expressed willingness to wait for McGregor's return to settle their trilogy. The UFC has not yet confirmed whether it will schedule this planned rematch.
