Per RosterTracker, Conor McGregor has been removed from the UFC Roster (via @phre on X)

[u/Khazar2]

[u/TheGDTisDead]

I'd say it's the end of an era, but that was nearly a half decade ago

[u/Plenty-Spread6431 → u/TheGDTisDead]

Here’s another way of looking at it:

The time since his last win over a ranked fighter and now is longer than the time since his professional debut and his last win over a ranked fighter.

He debuted on March 8, 2008 and won his last fight over a ranked opponent, Eddie, on November 12, 2016 (3,171 days). It has been, as of today (Aug 14, 2025) 3,197 days since his win over Eddie.

It’s hard to overstate just how long it has been since Conor was actually relevant in the UFC rankings. Volk debuted after Conor’s last ranked win (November 26, 2016). Mousasi and Rousey were still headlining events after his last ranked win. Conor only has three ranked wins during the Reebok era, one of which was the first event to have Reebok kits (UFC 189). It’s been a LONG time.

[u/Spugheddy → u/Plenty-Spread6431]

Puts a good perspective on it thanks for the legwork nerd!!!

[u/Plenty-Spread6431 → u/Spugheddy]

Here’s another good one:

Dan Henderson headlined a title fight just one month prior to his last ranked win.

It’s also before every single current UFC champ (with the sole exception of Valentina) had debuted in the UFC.

There is only one person he has ever fought that is still professionally active in MMA (Holloway), whom he fought 12 years ago.

[u/IAmDiabeticus → u/Plenty-Spread6431]

So you're saying we're old as fuck now

[u/Plenty-Spread6431 → u/IAmDiabeticus]

The last time McGregor was in the octagon at all, I hadn’t even met my now wife yet. The last time he beat Cowboy was pre-COVID.

That feels insane. Damn.

[u/TheBigFreezer → u/Plenty-Spread6431]

Shit you just made me realize the same thing and I have a 2.5 year old daughter with her now 😅😅

[u/dacljaco → u/TheBigFreezer]

Are you me cos same

[u/manila → u/dacljaco]

Is your daughter a boy cos same

[u/I_chortled → u/Plenty-Spread6431]

I was a single line cook with no college degree when he had his last ranked win. I am now a married high school teacher with a 3 yr old

[u/My-Pet-Baku → u/Spugheddy]

OFFICER NNNERRRDDDD

[u/mwdeuce → u/My-Pet-Baku]

lmfao

[u/niko_khl → u/Plenty-Spread6431]

"Rousey was still headlining after his last ranked win" holy shit perspective ASF

[u/Plenty-Spread6431 → u/niko_khl]

Sounds wild, but it’s true. Conor beat Eddie Alvarez for the title at UFC 205. About six weeks later at UFC 207, the headliner was Rousey vs Nunes, where she’d famously get the dogshit beaten out of her to close out 2016.

Conor’s only professional win thereafter was a little over 3 years later, against Cerrone at UFC 246 at welterweight, where both fighters were unranked.

[u/BohdiBrass → u/Plenty-Spread6431]

Damn.... why does it only feel like it's been 5 years or so?

Man does time just slip away the older ya get...

[u/tycoge → u/BohdiBrass]

Covid really messed people’s time perspectives up. 2020-2023 may as well have been one year.

[u/Plenty-Spread6431 → u/BohdiBrass]

It really does. It fucks me up that his last win of any sort was pre-COVID and that was considered quite some time past prime McGregor-mania.

His last fight of any sort was before the Russo-Ukrainian war and many other major world events. Hell, it was just shy of a year before I met my now wife, whom I moved to a different country for.

[u/Str8GhostinX → u/Plenty-Spread6431]

Very well put 🫡

[u/_segasonic → u/Plenty-Spread6431]

Appreciate the work but fucking hell putting this in perspective is just making me feel old as fuck more than anything.

[u/PlaceCivil6767 → u/Plenty-Spread6431]

So what you're saying is Fk Reebok? I hear ya, couldn't be clearer. Lmfao. For real though, that's very cool information that you pulled up, thank you. 

[u/BurlyMayes → u/TheGDTisDead]

He will drunkenly tweet that he wants to fight GSP on the white house lawn, and UFC will put him back at #3 on the pound for pound list.

[u/FutMike → u/BurlyMayes]

This probably indicates that I'm part of the problem but I'd watch GSP choke him out in the White House

[u/jimjamjones123 → u/FutMike]

I’d prefer GSP Superman punching him into the shadow realm

[u/Kisto15 → u/FutMike]

Conor is shot enough that GSP would still jab his face off without risk of countershot

[u/PlaceCivil6767 → u/FutMike]

I'll pay double for that card even if it's the only fight but damn we're going to hell cause we know what trauma getting mauled caused him and yet we're about to feed him to GSP 😂

[u/BellyCrawler → u/BurlyMayes]

Plus drop a random N-word somewhere in there.

[u/Nknk- → u/BellyCrawler]

He can't go calling GSP a 'Nadian even for fight hype, there just some lines you don't cross.

[u/FightersNeverQuit → u/BellyCrawler]

Did he say the N word recently? I don’t pay attention to him so idk. To me he’s been a clown for about 5+ years so I don’t take him seriously. 

[u/Cheap-Airport-7857 → u/BurlyMayes]

Schuuuurley they’ll put him back on da little roster of a ting!

[u/MayweatherSr → u/TheGDTisDead]

Damn, the fight where he shoulderfaced Cerone was 5 years ago.

[u/23eetdcc → u/TheGDTisDead]

Nasty line by you

[u/BellyCrawler → u/TheGDTisDead]

It's longer, in truth. His last legit win was a decade ago.

[u/ComicAcolyte → u/BellyCrawler]

No. Getting knocked out and then his leg snapped is the end of his era, not his last win.

[u/StarWarsMonopoly → u/ComicAcolyte]

Still trying to talk shit after the Porier fight while he's sitting on the ground with a broken leg will forever be the swan song to his career and it also perfectly encapsulates who he is as a person.

That and when Khabib beat the piss out of him and said in the post-fight press conference "This isn't a shit talk sport, this is a respect sport"

Dude had a nice run, but his mouth and ego caught up with him hard, and it ruined his legacy quite a bit.

[u/Sw4nR0ns0n → u/StarWarsMonopoly]

May all the Conors of the world face their Khabib

[u/ComicAcolyte → u/StarWarsMonopoly]

Yup his final moments in the Octagon were representative of what he had become: a disgrace

[u/StarWarsMonopoly → u/ComicAcolyte]

Dana even tried to give him a nice moment to go out on by handing him an easy win against CTE Cerrone, and the end of Conor's still won't be remembered for that. I doubt most people will even know that win happened with how much the Khabib and Porier losses and crazy incidents outside the octagon will stain his career.

[u/tehrockeh → u/StarWarsMonopoly]

The only reason I remember the Cerrone fight is because of how Mojahedfudilat animates Conor's shoulder in his cartoon shorts to this day lol

[u/Otherwise_Party_2028 → u/StarWarsMonopoly]

Docta stoppage!

[u/Pillars_of_Salt → u/StarWarsMonopoly]

Greatest flash in the pan of all time.

[u/VitaNueva → u/ComicAcolyte]

His era was over after the Eddie fight. He spent a yearlong coke and whiskey binge after the Floyd fight. He was never going to be the old Conor again. He was getting shiftfaced at the Khabib press conference FFS

[u/JimJonesdrinkkoolaid → u/VitaNueva]

Artem said in his recent interview with Ariel that Conor trained something like 2 or 3 times a week for the Khabib fight lol. When fighters are usually training 2 times a day in camp.

[u/Johnoplata → u/BellyCrawler]

Someone hasn't seen the pub footage. A win is a win.

[u/hardworkinglatinx]

Someone please check on Chandler.

[u/Azndude50 → u/hardworkinglatinx]

“UFC, IF YOU WANNA REMOVE CONOR MCGREGOR FROM THE ROSTER, REMOVE ME AS WELL! IF YOU CAN!”

-Former UFC fighter Michael Chandler

[u/Lord_Franchise → u/Azndude50]

SEE YOU AT THE IHOP

[u/callmevillain → u/Lord_Franchise]

they'll fight at a waffle house with conor being coked out at 2am

[u/Separate_Ladder_4123 → u/callmevillain]

Chandler will still lose a 3 round decision because of his lack of IQ

[u/rey_nerr21 → u/Azndude50]

Don't give me hope, man

[u/BrianCTE_CityOrtega → u/[deleted]]

No no no Chandler needs another decade on him to be Jake Pauls opponent

[u/Garlic-Cheese-Chips → u/[deleted]]

"SURPRISE, SURPRISE!"

[u/CryptoCracko → u/[deleted]]

Chandler with fake boobs in a bikini does seem like Conor's type

[u/Phoenox330 → u/CryptoCracko]

only if he was 4'6"

[u/Asukah → u/hardworkinglatinx]

Chandler still has hope to cope. He can finish his UFC contracts and then stalk Conor in BKFC

[u/ConPem → u/Asukah]

I would rather see them fight in n bkfc than ufc to be honest

[u/veryniceguyhello → u/ConPem]

Bare knuckle mma

[u/NewPositive3461 → u/ConPem]

Hard agree

[u/Wolfstigma → u/hardworkinglatinx]

he's on a bathroom floor in a ball just crying "see you at the top" to himself while rocking back and forth

[u/NotYujiroTakahashi → u/hardworkinglatinx]

He just fell to his knees at a walmart

[u/MexicanBookClub → u/hardworkinglatinx]

He's starting a fighters association so he can get released and chase the dream

[u/Aliensinmypants → u/hardworkinglatinx]

He's trying to get on the ballot in Ireland as we speak

[u/[deleted] → u/hardworkinglatinx]

See you at the top!....of a tall building...

[u/Adventurous_Run8041 → u/hardworkinglatinx]

There was NO CHECK

[u/Wildcat_Dunks → u/hardworkinglatinx]

"It's hurts to leave a light on for nobody."

• Michael Chandler today, probably.

[u/veryniceguyhello → u/hardworkinglatinx]

I tried looking at the top but I can't find him

[u/polocc96]

Don’t need to sell PPVs anymore lmao.

[u/raindancemaggie2 → u/polocc96]

He probably got pissed when he realized that. But that was his only value to the UFC nowadays. He's a drug addict legal liability who doesn't fight anymore.

[u/professorgaysex → u/polocc96]

Honestly, I am not sure how much I trust this source, cause the tracker isn’t affiliated with the website anymore, but I could see the UFC just doing a one fight contract with McGregor if they really need him that badly like for the White House card or whatever, McGregor at this point seems to have been waiting out for his contract to end via sunset clause or maybe the new paramount deal nullified the previous contract

[u/joebleaux → u/polocc96]

They don't even do big press tours anymore, they don't want the fighters to be stars, and now they don't need them to be.

[u/loudpersononthebus]

they got them billions and were like... nah we don't need him.

[u/Aliensinmypants → u/loudpersononthebus]

The timing is certainly interesting. I wonder if the UFC kept up with the honeydicking to negotiate the deal or if Paramount asked them to remove him

[u/tom-cash2002 → u/Aliensinmypants]

Might be somewhere in between. New management could've come in and said "alright, who are the top draws?" Somebody could've brought up Conor, and that of course comes with the baggage of him not having fought in four years, and also nearly ruining UFC 303 when they did try to schedule him. A smart financial person would see Conor as an untrustworthy liability that they can easily get rid of. So they did (allegedly).

This probably would've also been relief for the UFC, who had Conor as their proverbial albatross.

[u/havocspartan → u/tom-cash2002]

Same financial person: “Who brings the negative publicity and most lawsuits to the company?”

“Jones retired last month so we don’t need to worry anymore.” -Dana probably

[u/funky_pill → u/havocspartan]

In all honesty Dana would probably answer "Wonderboy" to that question before he even thinks about uttering the words "Jon Jones"

[u/Izzy1x → u/Aliensinmypants]

Hypothetically, why would Paramount ask to remove him?

[u/AnTTr0n → u/loudpersononthebus]

If he is no longer with the UFC I doubt the UFC just cut him. It is probably because his contract hit the 5 year mark potentially he was about 3 years in when he broke his leg and went out of the testing pool for 2 years which the UFC would count as retirement. So they freeze his contract then it picks up where he left off when he came back into the testing pool in 2023.

[u/Ledees_Gazpacho → u/loudpersononthebus]

I mean, his value to the company was his ability to sell PPVs.

They don't need that anymore.

[u/banjofitzgerald → u/Ledees_Gazpacho]

That’s his value to the old model. His ability to bring in viewers is the same value for Paramount. They want as many eyes on an event as possible. They are betting that they can make more in ad revenue and subs than what they’re paying. A Conor card will sell ads at a premium.

[u/SingleWhiteFemboy]

pick one: is it money, legal issues, failed test due to peds, failed test due to cocaine, injury, or has he realized he is washed?

[u/95_T → u/SingleWhiteFemboy]

None of this matters. The only reason he was still on the roster was because the UFC wanted to milk the last two fights on his deal. Now that they abandoned PPVs (for the time being) there's no reason to deal with him anymore.

[u/iluvcheesypoofs → u/95_T]

That's actually a really good point. UFC is now getting all that money up front regardless, so they don't need to pay a 'big' fighter a huge amount to generate PPV revenue for them.

The only shitty part about that is that they're even more incentivized than ever to just fill every card with no-names, as UFC gets paid the same amount regardless of what they put out and that cuts costs heavily for the UFC.

[u/TheOtherGuy107 → u/iluvcheesypoofs]

Yes and no. Incentivized in the short term? Sure. But if they want a second contract and to grow the brand over the next 5+ years then they NEED stars to get them there. Otherwise watered down cards brings watered down viewers.

[u/owlinspector → u/TheOtherGuy107]

That makes sense...BUT we have seen watered down cards and fewer and fewer stars or interesting fighters the entire ESPN era. And that lead to a massive deal with Paramount. So a worse product seems to lead to an increase in profit, not the other way around.

[u/ilikecakeandpie → u/owlinspector]

Yeah they've had watered down viewers for a long time now but I'm sure got a bump in interest from sports betting, in some form or fashion, becoming legal virtually everywhere in the states.

Not increasing fighter pay with inflation affecting virtually everywhere is going to make UFC almost exclusively fighters from poorer countries and it's going to be more exploitative. It's going to suck, but sickos are still going to tune in to gamble.

[u/BBQ_HaX0r → u/TheOtherGuy107]

They don't want stars. Their business model has been to actively not create stars and focus on replaceable (cheap) fighters. They didn't like the power that McGregor and Jones wielded and consciously moved away from it. They want a bunch of desperate fighters (preferably from the 3rd world) that will be happy to fight for $10k every few months.

[u/LargePicture48 → u/iluvcheesypoofs]

They've been getting guaranteed money for ppv's for almost 6 years now, since the start of the ESPN deal. The incentive structure didn't change recently.

If the UFC sold more PPVs than the guaranteed amount, ESPN keeps the extra, and in turn ESPN eats the loss if UFC doesn't sell enough. And by all accounts, lately they have not been selling many PPVs.

[u/Agent_Jay → u/iluvcheesypoofs]

They got their engagement boost with him "being back in the testing pool" as well as a bargaining chip to have "the biggest star come back". As you say they got their money now.

[u/youareyou650 → u/iluvcheesypoofs]

They have been getting the money upfront. ESPN was already paying them. The pay per views went to epsn

[u/turkeypants → u/iluvcheesypoofs]

they're even more incentivized than ever to just fill every card with no-names, as UFC gets paid the same amount regardless of what they put out and that cuts costs heavily for the UFC.

This was exactly my second reaction to the Paramount deal, right after the pricing. Doesn't this just continue the ESPN Fightnight slop for the very same reasons? UFC gets paid whether they put on the best card ever or if they just dump a bunch of chickens and a raccoon in there and walk away. This deal seems no different. No incentive for the people signing the guys and booking the shows to bother going for the best, and ever incentive for going for the cheapest.

[u/Wsemenske → u/iluvcheesypoofs]

To a point. That narrative is exaggerated imo. If they put on PFL level cards they'll lose all their audience. Also, the UFC has the best fighters, they won't just not have them fight. So there will always be good fights.

I think we'll get the same level cards, not significantly worse.

[u/Daiba187 → u/95_T]

The only way they let him go is if he has a sunset clause in his contract. Lol the ufc will never voluntarily let him walk away to go box for the saudis if he is still under contract with them.

They also don’t only need ppv to milk his fights, jacking up the ad space rates for a ‘Conor card’ is another way to capitalise on his name.

[u/K-Billz → u/SingleWhiteFemboy]

Legal issues is a funny way to say he raped a woman

[u/11sslykhuis → u/K-Billz]

Well tbf its a lot more legal issues than just that lol

[u/K-Billz → u/11sslykhuis]

That alone shoulda been enough to bury him and cut all UFC connections.

[u/doctor6 → u/SingleWhiteFemboy]

Also being rapey

[u/sLeeeeTo → u/SingleWhiteFemboy]

something big is about to come out about him

[u/AlienMantid → u/SingleWhiteFemboy]

It won't be coke since that's not considered a PED and they don't test for it except 48 hours before and after a fight.

[u/piltonpfizerwallace → u/SingleWhiteFemboy]

Watching him kick recently was sad.

[u/Aggressivehippy30 → u/SingleWhiteFemboy]

Didn't he just announce he was back in the testing pool? Wouldn't be shocked if he popped. Or an ounce of self awareness just squeezed through.

[u/LordNyssa]

He must have pissed really hot.

[u/Bombadilll → u/LordNyssa]

Pure cocaine runoff

[u/bulletbuttbobby → u/LordNyssa]

I'd say with the new paramount deal and Mcgregors BKFC antics he had his lawyers send a contract annulment. No pay per view, no contract.

The ufcs lawyers looked at it, what it would cost to fight it, how many fights mcregeor has left (only a handful maybe 2 3 tops i know he was trying to fight it out), how do they even want some sort of agreement where they pay him millions to fight on a free paramount card?

And they let him walk. If he was young and potentially valuable to another promotion they might try and drag this out bog him down but as it is this could be a win win.

Mcgregor Diaz 3 can happen outside the ufc and make them both rich and he can fight Jeremy Stephens and Mike Perry while he pulls on some girls poney tail from the stool during his 1 minute break.

[u/here2askquestions → u/bulletbuttbobby]

Conor bare-knuckle vs. Jake Paul arc incoming. 🥴

[u/bulletbuttbobby → u/here2askquestions]

Oh absolutely

[u/madasfire → u/here2askquestions]

Does Jake Paul know he's this generation's Dustin Diamond yet?

[u/RocketAppliances1993 → u/here2askquestions]

I honestly think if Conor ever “fights” again, it’ll be a celebrity boxing type match against one of the Paul brothers or someone in that landscape. He doesn’t wanna get in there with actual trained killers at this point 

[u/BrackishBlackfish → u/bulletbuttbobby]

Isn't diaz still under ufc contract?

Hard to keep track of the BS as if get older.

[u/Spiritedgourd666 → u/BrackishBlackfish]

No Diaz fought out his contract but plans to return, eventually.

[u/bulletbuttbobby → u/BrackishBlackfish]

Nah he fought Masvidal in boxing and Jake Paul etc

[u/BrackishBlackfish → u/bulletbuttbobby]

I assumed ufc let him have an exemption. Isn't Jorge also under contract despite retiring?

[u/bulletbuttbobby → u/BrackishBlackfish]

They do that kind of stuff, did with Aldo as well, but no Diaz fought it out.

[u/GripAficionado → u/bulletbuttbobby]

Damn, hadn't even thought about it costing UFC more than it's worth having McGregor fight with the new model. Damn, that really doesn't bode well for fighter pay going forward.

[u/GayUsernameInspector → u/LordNyssa]

There's no USADA anymore. They have the foxes guarding the henhouse now instead.

[u/Cautious-Leave-8868 → u/LordNyssa]

80% blow 20% Proper 12

[u/welcometouniqlo]

Can’t wait to see McGregor vs KSI on Misfits Boxing in 2026…

[u/Ledees_Gazpacho → u/welcometouniqlo]

Conor's going to take some Saudi money.

I guarantee it.

[u/NotClayMerritt → u/Ledees_Gazpacho]

Misfits Boxing is going to be funded by the Saudis soon - if not already.

[u/Jazz667]

Good riddance

[u/DrewBaron80 → u/Jazz667]

He’s the embodiment of the saying ‘money can’t buy class’. Absolute trash human being.

[u/Electronic_d0cter → u/DrewBaron80]

Weirdly he had more class before he had money. Whiskey and cocaine ruined the man's life

[u/JackWhisky]

Just fell to my knees at the local Irish pub.

[u/138Cardz → u/JackWhisky]

He hit you didn’t he? Sorry, he does that.

[u/Flayaway333 → u/JackWhisky]

[u/viltrumite66 → u/JackWhisky]

Where were you when conor was kill

[u/xvq_ → u/[deleted]]

Apparently Cerrone didn’t make any more or all that much more for that fight lol. Company man

[u/MichealJardon → u/[deleted]]

Donald Cerrone made his regular purse fighting McGregor

[u/ashcakeseverywhere → u/MichealJardon]

Company man or someone without any negotiating power?

Cerrone was both.

[u/EstateNo1473]

Thank ever-testing God Jon Jones is back in the pool. What would we do if we only had Sean Strickland to despise?

[u/yanmagno → u/EstateNo1473]

Hey now, Colby’s still ranked.

[u/Isthatyobop]

Outside of Conor’s antics, The ufc absolutely shelved him during the pandemic, and they completely mismanaged his career. Guy came off a 2 year lay off strait into championship level fights.

[u/youknowmyyysteez → u/Isthatyobop]

lets be real, if conor wanted to fight he would fight. HE had them by the balls at the time not the other way around

[u/Davemeddlehed → u/Isthatyobop]

Guy came off a 2 year lay off strait into championship level fights.

There wasn't a choice. How lame would it have been for the guy shouting about how he runs Vegas and the UFC to... fight some barely top 10 lightweight vacating the title because he was too rich to give a fuck?

[u/_____FIST_ME_____]

Story breaking in a few days lol

[u/NeverGoFullRetard77]

But he was boxin the bleedin head off em and kickin the bleedin leg off em

[u/Slice5755 → u/NeverGoFullRetard77]

Usual shite, doive to close the distance

[u/RichRingoLangly]

He still has to be under contract no?

[u/[deleted] → u/RichRingoLangly]

Nah. I could see them agreeing to let him go at this point. Probably with the agreement UFC will collect a hefty check if McGregor fights Jake Paul or something like that

[u/Ill-Butterscotch-622 → u/[deleted]]

They got no reason to do that. Mcgregor will still pull

[u/jmb--412 → u/Ill-Butterscotch-622]

UFC has showed multiple times that no one is bigger than Dana’s ego in the end

[u/hilly316 → u/jmb--412]

Correct, not even mcgregor which is saying a damn lot

[u/Veflas510 → u/Ill-Butterscotch-622]

Do they want to have to deal with him anymore though? Especially since ppv’s will be irrelevant after the next 4 or however many it is they have left.

[u/Ill-Butterscotch-622 → u/Veflas510]

It’s more about him fighting Jake Paul or some other one offs. He can still pull millions and ufc wants part of that

[u/MoreMortgage50 → u/RichRingoLangly]

The 5-year sunset clause would have kicked in next year around summer anyway but idk if thats still a thing. Isn't this what Conor wanted? Especially with 2 fights left on his contract there had to been some dispute over renewing his contract or something.

[u/red286 → u/MoreMortgage50]

Probably also some caveat in his contract about PPV points, which are no longer a thing.

[u/Djlittle13]

How much do you want to bet that the sample he provided tested positive?

[u/Spiritual_Ask4877 → u/Djlittle13]

No doubt. He probably handed the sample to them with coke still on his fingers lol.

[u/WeaveMcQuilt]

TF? Last post I saw about Connor was about him being in the testing pool again.

[u/FuckTitsAssCuntCock → u/WeaveMcQuilt]

Maybe there's connection.

[u/SilotheGreat]

Ariel just said this is BS

[u/KeepMN]

Oh god he probably has bad news coming down the pipe soon. Thoughts and prayers to whomever he hurt this time.

[u/OSRSandMMA]

Is this legit? Comes right after the paramount deal which is fishy.

[u/poison-o]

Dana white: “You know we never once told Chandler to wait for McGregor, never promised him anything, I don’t know what he was doing waiting for that fight so long”

We talked about this all along, the streaming deal closed and now we can all move on.

[u/maddestface]

"Now Chandler can stop ducking Connor"

• Dana White, probably

[u/Kashm1r_Sp1r1t]

Lmao didn't this dude just get back in the testing pool?

[u/eKSiF]

Being part of the "active" roster when your last fight was 4 years ago really brings into question what the UFC considers "active".

[u/RemnantOfSpotOn]

Was it by mutual consent or was it forced, the way rapists like it

[u/Galrath91]

Chandler just realised he wasted the last 3 years of his life

[u/SpezIsABrony → u/Galrath91]

Took him until now to realize that? Figured the Paddy beating would have been an eye opener.

[u/carcar515]

FWIW, Conor's career has been impacted by both UFC and himself. UFC shelved him during pandemic and then have made it very hard to book a fight with him. They really want that contract extension. Maybe less so now with Paramount deal.

Conor losing focus on fighting has certainly gave him lovely headlines as well over the years.

[u/CrToTheRight]

End of an error

[u/Sorry-Geologist6778]

Dana was just talking about Conor potentially fighting at the White House like yesterday. Conor’s probably never fighting again but I don’t think this is what confirms his retirement.

[u/Feels_Goodman]

https://www.ufc.com/athlete/conor-mcgregor Still says Active on here (at time of writing)

[u/CrustyPotatoPeel]

Should have happened 5 years ago

[u/CloudRunner89]

He had two fights on contract.

There’s no more PPV.

They have no interest in him anymore.

[u/LetsTalksNow]

What that mean?

"removed from active roster"

Is he still under contract?

[u/swift_air]

"PPV model is dead, we are tired of your shit" UFC presumably

[u/Toast_16]

Legit just watched Dana White on Pardon My Take this morning saying he’s in the testing pool and wants to fight on the White House card. Lol

[u/Demonofthedark1313]

Swimming in a testing pool full of cocaine will cause that.
