Conor McGregor says he is working on "the largest attendance of a fight event of all time", and talked up an 80,000-seat stadium while teasing an announcement he said he did not want to "jump the gun" on.

Speaking at a BKFC press conference, McGregor said: "The things we have planned here is goosebumps, goosebump material. 80,000-seater stadium. Now I'm thinking the largest attendance of all time." He added: "We're thinking we are working on the largest attendance of a fight event of all time."

He went on: "We're taking over the country and the announcement that's coming I don't want to jump the gun, that was a little bit too much information. We're thinking colossal! The Colosseum 10x, yeah? We're thinking big."

McGregor did not name an event, a venue, a date or an opponent. He is a co-owner of BKFC and has said his final UFC fight is "not to retire, to announce bareknuckle". BKFC founder David Feldman has said talks with McGregor will only begin once his UFC career is finished and that McGregor would not face anyone from the current BKFC roster.

At the same press conference McGregor named Max Holloway as the opponent he wants for his final UFC fight. He tore his ACL and meniscus 69 seconds into their UFC 329 rematch in July and has targeted International Fight Week 2027 for his return.
