Conor McGregor ‘Pushing’ for Michael Chandler bout at UFC 300: ‘If it was up to him, he’d be fighting Saturday’

Former two-weight champion, Conor McGregor is still keen on fighting at a monumental UFC 300 card in April of next year according to his manager, Paradigm Sports ace, Audie Attar – with the Dubliner still earmarked to fight long-time rival, Michael Chandler in a 2024 return to the sport.

McGregor, a former undisputed lightweight and featherweight champion under the banner of the promotion, has been sidelined since he headlined UFC 264 back in July 2021, fracturing his left tibia and fibula in an opening round doctor’s stoppage TKO loss to Dustin Poirier in the pair’s trilogy rubber match at the lightweight limit.
