Conor McGregor will finally make his return in June.
Conor McGregor has issued a short six-word response to the confirmation that he will be returning to the Octagon at UFC 303 against Michael Chandler on June 29th.
UFC President Dana White confirmed that McGregor would finally be returning to the organisation after a three-year absence during the UFC 300 post-fight press conference on Saturday evening. Taking to social media after the announcement, McGregor posted a clip of himself and Chandler arguing during filming of the Ultimate Fighter reality series last year, with the Irishman captioning the post: "Get the jet fired up Mac."McGregor and Chandler coached opposite each other on the series last year, but a fight between the pair never came to fruition in 2023 for a myriad of reasons including McGregor's absence at the time from the USADA anti-doping testing pool.
The Dubliner returned to the pool at the back-end of 2023 and has been tested six-times already in 2024 under the UFC's new drug-testing protocol, which is twice as many times as almost every other fighter on the roster. McGregor has been out of action since July 2021 when he suffered a horror leg injury in defeat to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264.
