In March, McGregor confirmed that he would return to the UFC in time to fight Chandler, although he did not specify the date the fight would take place. "Yes, against Michael Chandler. I'm gonna bust him up. If I say it, I do it," The 'Notorious' fighter said when asked about his return to the octagon.
It's been almost three years since his last fight. On July 10, 2021, McGregor broke his leg fighting against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264.
