Overview
- On Tuesday Benn reshared a fan-made poster of himself and Conor McGregor on Instagram and wrote he would fight the Irish star “any day of the week,” but no bout is scheduled.
- Benn is coming off a second-round knockout loss to Ryan Garcia in September and is reportedly seeking a high-profile return in early 2027 rather than a low-key comeback fight.
- McGregor is recovering from a torn ACL and meniscus sustained in July and is expected to be out until next summer while he also has one fight left on his UFC contract.
- Promotional hurdles complicate any matchup because Benn is signed to Zuffa Boxing while Dana White has shown reluctance to stage crossover MMA-versus-boxing events and other promoters like BKFC have floated alternative routes for McGregor.
- If the fight were to happen it would likely be delayed by McGregor's rehab and by a need for Benn's team to rebuild his standing after the Garcia loss, so watchers should look for formal offers from Zuffa or contract moves before expecting a confirmed date.
