McGregor: Crawford turned down $200M; final UFC contract bout set for 2027

McGregor says Terence Crawford rejected a two-fight, $200 million deal, and confirms he has only two fights left on his UFC contract, with a July 11 showdown vs Max Holloway at UFC 329 and an April 2027 final UFC bout. The UFC didn’t attempt to extend his deal, opening the door to outside-the-UFC opportunities—boxing Jake Paul, bare-knuckle boxing with BKFC, or other MVP-promoted crossovers—though no deals are in place yet.

Till moves to BKFC with eyes on Perry, suggesting MMA chapter may be winding down

Darren Till signed a multi-fight deal with BKFC after years of resisting bare-knuckle fighting, lured by a lucrative offer that fits his boxing style. He acknowledges the sport’s cosmetic damage and will learn from a veteran, embracing a “f*ck you” mindset about getting hit and cut. Till says MMA is likely behind him at about 85%, though he won’t rule out a future return, and his immediate goal is a long-anticipated clash with Mike Perry, with hopes of eventually winning a boxing world title.
