Overview

• McGregor told followers on X and Instagram he is going offline for a while following his BKFC 82 appearance in Newark.
• In a rare admission at the post-fight press conference, he said juggling promotion and fighting was "incredibly draining" and that superstardom "overcame" him at times.
• The former two-division champion is now a BKFC co-owner and promoter, though he emphasized he misses competing and is excited about what lies ahead.
• He has signaled interest in facing Michael Chandler and referenced Mike Perry during BKFC 82, but any future matchup remains unconfirmed.
• UFC CEO Dana White said no fights have been negotiated for the proposed White House event and indicated talks would not begin until February.
