Conor McGregor says he plans to bring his children to T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas for his UFC 329 comeback fight against Max Holloway on July 11, saying he wants them to witness what discipline and dedication can achieve.
McGregor made the announcement during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
“They’re training and living a good, healthy lifestyle for sure. I’m gonna bring them to the bout also. I’ve been debating it. It is a dangerous game, but I want to show them what discipline and what dedication and commitment to your craft can achieve.
They’re gonna see their father walk out and see the adoration of 20 or 30,000 fans and a great performance, and I want to show them this is what hard work gets you.”
McGregor also told Ariel Helwani separately that he has two fights left on his UFC deal — the Holloway bout and one scheduled for April 2027. McGregor indicated frustration with waiting until spring for the final fight and said he would prefer to compete again at the end of 2026.
He acknowledged plans to test free agency unless the UFC and TKO present him with an offer he cannot refuse, while also stating his preference is to remain with the promotion he has called home since 2013.
