Will Conor McGregor secure a redesigned UFC contract tied to the Paramount era?

Former two-division UFC champion Conor McGregor plans to begin contract talks with the UFC in February, saying his PPV-based deal no longer fits the league’s new media model after the Paramount partnership. McGregor argues that as PPV fades, top stars should be paid through higher guarantees or platform-linked incentives. He believes his name still justifies special terms, especially alongside a major comeback event.
