Happy Punch<\/a>). \u201cI\u2019m gonna be at it, for sure. It\u2019s gonna be insane, the White House card is gonna be.<\/p>\n\u201cI\u2019m going into negotiations with the Ultimate Fighting Championship in February. I\u2019m very interested to go. They\u2019ve actually got a new deal with Paramount, it\u2019s worth $7.7 billion. So the company has 4xed its profit, and my contract, essentially, is void right now because there\u2019s no more PPV, whereas my contract was based on PPV sales. I\u2019m the highest-generating PPV fighter of all time. The PPV system is done, I\u2019m due a new contract. So, we\u2019re going into negotiations in February, and I\u2019m very interested to see how it goes.\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s unclear if the change in broadcast rights actually affects McGregor\u2019s UFC contract, which has two fights remaining on it, or if this is simply negotiation from McGregor. But, ostensibly, that is going to get sorted out in the coming months.<\/p>\n
Until then, McGregor is focused on getting prepared for his planned return.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd what am I doing for it?\u201d McGregor said. \u201cI\u2019m focusing on what I can control. I\u2019m in the gym. I\u2019m living in the gym, focusing on my health, focusing on my rest, listening to my coaches, following the game plan. External noise is non-existent for me. I don\u2019t absorb it. You\u2019re aware of it, but you don\u2019t let it seep in. Keep the internal dialogue strong. I\u2019m here, showing the kids, showing my team what it takes. You\u2019ve got to live it. You\u2019ve got to live and breathe it.\u201d<\/p>\n
McGregor has not fought since July of 2021, when he shattered his leg against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264. He was supposed to return last summer at UFC 303, but withdrew due to injury.<\/p>\n
UFC White House is expected to take place on June 14, with UFC CEO Dana White saying he would begin to start booking the card after UFC 324 concludes on Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Conor McGregor says his UFC contract is void.
