Conor McGregor Steps Back From Social Media After Saying Fame ‘Almost Broke’ Him

UFC leadership says no White House-card bout for him has been negotiated.

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.
