Henry Cejudo questions value of Conor McGregor's final UFC contract

Published

The story

On his Pound 4 Pound podcast, Henry Cejudo proposed that the UFC should cut ties with Conor McGregor as he enters the final fight of his current deal. Cejudo questioned the business logic of paying a high salary to a fighter who has struggled to find success inside the cage in recent years.

McGregor holds a 1-4 record in the UFC since 2017 and recently returned at UFC 329, where a bout against Max Holloway ended in 69 seconds due to a leg injury. Cejudo noted that while McGregor remains a significant financial draw, his recent performance and the lack of a traditional pay-per-view model make the expense questionable for the promotion.
