UFC: Will Conor McGregor Fight in 2026? Prediction Market OddsConor McGregor is increasingly expected to return to the Octagon in 2026, setting the stage for one of the most closely watched comebacks in UFC history. The former two-division champion has not competed in an official UFC bout since 2021, when he suffered a leg injury in his trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier.
A McGregor return would provide a major boost to the UFC’s pay-per-view calendar and immediately reshape the promotion’s marquee divisions. While no official opponent or date has been confirmed, any sanctioned UFC appearance by McGregor before the end of 2026 would mark his first competitive fight in more than five years.
The Irish star has remained one of the sport’s most recognizable figures despite his extended absence, with speculation continuing around potential matchups and weight class options. UFC officials are expected to rely on formal announcements and bout agreements before confirming the details of his comeback.
