Conor McGregor's long-awaited UFC return is set to take place against Michael Chandler soon, it appears.

"We got confirmation a few days ago that it's all systems go," McGregor told ESPN's Marc Raimondi on Tuesday. "'The Mac,' 'The Notorious' will be returning to the UFC Octagon this summer."

While the former two-division champion didn't offer a date, he made sure to address Chandler while discussing the fight. Chandler appeared on an episode of WWE's "Monday Night Raw" last month and called McGregor out, screaming about their "unfinished business."

"Shut up, Michael, you f***ing imbecile," McGregor responded Tuesday.
