Former two-weight UFC champion, Conor McGregor has confirmed his long-awaited Octagon return and incoming fight with Michael Chandler, will occur before the conclusion of this summer.
McGregor, a former undisputed lightweight and featherweight champion under the banner of the UFC, has been sidelined from active competition since July 2021.
Headlining UFC 264 in a trilogy rubber-match against Dustin Poirier, McGregor fractured his left tibia and fibula in a first round doctor’s stoppage TKO loss.
Earlier this year, the Dubliner finished filming on The Ultimate Fighter 31, alongside the aforenoted, Chandler, with the duo expected to fight at the welterweight limit before the close of 2023.
