Conor McGregor reveals he has two fights left on UFC contract and wants to break PPV record for top ten most sold
CONOR MCGREGOR plans to shatter the UFC’s pay-per-view records in his remaining fights with the promotion.
The MMA superstar has taken part in eight of the ten biggest PPV events in the history of the sport, with his 2018 grudge match against Khabib Nurmagomedov topping the list.
And The Notorious – who is currently recovering from a broken leg – plans to make it a perfect ten in his next two outings in the promotion.
He tweeted: “2 fights left on my contract, I will round out the entire top ten.
“Can’t wait to get back sparring for my comeback!”
McGregor, 33, has flirted with a return to the boxing world over the years but is eager to renew his deal with MMA’s premier promotion.
During an impromptu Twitter Q&A last weekend, the Irishman said: “I have two fights left on my contract.
“I’d love to be with the UFC for life. I am the UFC! We shall see.”

McGregor, 22-6, is expected to, at the earliest, return to the octagon in July – a year after breaking his left leg in his trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier.
But the Dubliner is refusing to get too far ahead of himself, despite both his fibula and tibia nearly being fully healed.
He told fans: “The fibula is fully healed.
“The medial side of the tibia is developing nice callous also.
“It is just patience now for it to form down through the bone to the lateral side of the tibia where the larger break occurred.
“It’s getting there. Patience will win this race for me!”
Although he’s exercising caution, McGregor expects to be sparring again in April.
He said: “I will be full mixed martial arts sparring by April. Easily!
“By then a return will be imminent. But I must be patient. I will beat this!”
