Conor McGregor posted a wild message on social media saying the rumors are true about a possible return at UFC 330 during International Fight Week in Las Vegas on July 11.
McGregor’s social media message
McGregor wrote a long Instagram post that mixed pride, jokes and a few threats. He said he is coming back and called himself names like Big Money Mac Daddy McGregor. He also wrote that he is “born ready” and told fans to watch when he fights.
The post included lines that referenced pop culture and old movie quotes. While the message was full of bravado, it did not give any official details such as an opponent, contract terms, or an official date from the UFC.
Who might be on the other end?
Talk around the fight has named a few possible opponents. Insider Ariel Helwani reported that McGregor has been in talks with UFC officials about returning at UFC 330 on July 11 in Las Vegas. Max Holloway has also said he would be interested in a fight with McGregor, which Helwani suggested could put Holloway into consideration.
Another name is Jorge Masvidal. Masvidal has told media that he plans to return to the UFC at 170 pounds after turning down an offer to fight on the MVP MMA: Rousey vs. Carano card. If Masvidal does come back at welterweight, he could be a candidate to face McGregor.
What we know and what we do not
Key facts from reports and social posts:
- Event: UFC 330 during International Fight Week.
- Date: July 11.
- Location: Las Vegas.
- Fighters discussed: Conor McGregor, Max Holloway, Jorge Masvidal.
There is no official fight announcement from the UFC yet. McGregor has said he would return many times before but did not fight. That history makes it wise to treat this news with caution for now.
Next steps and what to watch for
UFCcoverage reported earlier that talks have taken place between McGregor and UFC brass. The next signs to watch for are a formal announcement from the UFC, a fight contract, or confirmation from a named opponent.
If the UFC confirms a McGregor fight for UFC 330, expect major media coverage, ticket news, and possible broadcast details from partners such as Paramount Plus. Until the promotion issues an official statement, the story is still rumors and talk from insiders and fighters.
Fans should watch for updates from McGregor, the UFC, Max Holloway, and Jorge Masvidal in the coming days and weeks as plans for International Fight Week come together.
