McGregor: 'I'm happy with what I've done' in UFC

It appears Conor McGregor's focus has shifted away from MMA competition - at least for now.

The former UFC two-division champion said Thursday night he's content with his career and that he's currently fixated on politics in his home country of Ireland.

"Last week, something happened to me," McGregor said at the BKFC 70 postfight press conference in Hollywood, Florida, according to The Mac Life. "I went to the White House. And my country - my heart bleeds for my country right now. There's a lot of stuff going on back home.

"I'm happy with what I've done (in the UFC). There's something else for me that's in my gut right now. That's kind of where I'm going. So we'll see. Greatness doesn't rush."

Following a recent meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump, McGregor announced last week on X that he's planning to run for president in Ireland.

The 36-year-old hasn't stepped into the Octagon since breaking his leg in a July 2021 loss to Dustin Poirier. He was scheduled to return against Michael Chandler at UFC 303 last June but withdrew two weeks before the event due to a toe injury.

McGregor reiterated that he has two fights left on his current UFC contract.

"The Notorious" said he recently received a fight offer from outside the promotion, and although it didn't materialize, he does indeed plan to compete again.

"There was an opportunity - or a deal, we'll say - to fight in Alcatraz, only recently," McGregor said. "There's an event going on in Alcatraz in, I believe, June. They came to me and it wasn't my worth. As a fighter, we've gotta know our worth. I hold every pay-per-view record in the book. I hold every gate record in the book. And my comeback will be slated as the greatest comeback, or the biggest, most anticipated comeback, of all time. So it has to be right.

"And right now, Ireland is in my thoughts. That's where I'm at. It will happen, I'm sure."
