By After a three-year hiatus, Conor McGregor is slated to make his highly anticipated return to the Octagon on June 29 at UFC 303 in Las Vegas, where he will face off against Michael Chandler.
McGregor’s last UFC appearance was marred by injury, as he suffered a leg fracture during his trilogy bout with Dustin Poirier. Now, the former two-weight champion is ready to make his comeback in a welterweight clash against Chandler.
With a career record of 22 wins and six defeats, McGregor remains one of the most iconic figures in MMA history, having held simultaneous titles in two weight classes back in 2016. However, his recent victory tally has been modest, with only one win since his historic achievement.
In contrast, Chandler boasts an impressive record of 23 wins and eight losses from 31 professional bouts. His inclusion as McGregor’s opponent adds an extra layer of intrigue to the upcoming showdown.
UFC CEO Dana White emphasized the significance of timing in arranging the bout, highlighting McGregor’s prior commitments and the need for optimal training conditions. White commended McGregor’s professionalism and reaffirmed the Irish fighter’s unwavering dedication to the UFC.
As anticipation builds for McGregor’s return, fans eagerly await his comeback performance against Chandler, setting the stage for an electrifying clash between two formidable competitors.
