McGregor Says He Accepted 'No-Name' Opponent as UFC Denies a Signed Deal

The comeback hinges on reworking his PPV-based deal under the UFC’s Paramount agreement.

Overview

  • Conor McGregor posted that he is willing to face a "no name" opponent and told the UFC to "send the contract," then deleted the message.
  • Days earlier he claimed he had been offered an opponent and date and accepted, later adding "Day 15 of 'I accept, send the contract'" to express frustration over delays.
  • Dana White said at the UFC Houston presser that nothing is finalized and that he would announce any completed agreement, ruling out Michael Chandler and Colby Covington as options.
  • The June 14 White House card remains a possible landing spot, though McGregor’s participation is unconfirmed and White has said the event is largely built.
  • McGregor maintains his PPV-based contract must be renegotiated under the Paramount deal and continues sharing new sparring footage as he trains for a potential summer return.
