Conor McGregor wants "to go for the triple crown" vs. Islam Makhachev
Dylan Bowker - December 5, 2025
Conor McGregor has teased returns to the cage multiple times over the years, but he has recently indicated a desire to fight Islam Makhachev. A clash with the welterweight kingpin would put McGregor into rarefied air in the UFC, if he got his desired outcome, with no UFC fighter holding gold across three weight categories.

The former two-division UFC champion has teased a return to the octagon on the mapped-out UFC White House event for the Summer. McGregor mentioned that the negotiations for that would likely be firmed up circa February, per a recent quote he gave to a Bloody Elbow reporter. While Michael Chandler has long been referenced as a return opponent for Conor McGregor, it seems like he has quite lofty aspirations for his subsequent efforts by mentioning a desire to vie for Makhachev’s belt.
