At this rate, perhaps the UFC holds out Conor McGregor’s return for UFC 300 which is scheduled to be in March or April. But, regardless of when he returns, McGregor says his next fight will be against Michael Chandler, who he coached TUF 31 against.
“Yes, has to be,” McGregor said. “Chandler, sit down and wait, and shut your mouth.
Conor McGregor (22-6) has not fought since UFC 264 in July of 2021 when he broke his leg in the trilogy match against Dustin Poirier. It was his second straight loss to Poirier, as he suffered a KO loss at UFC 257 in January of 2021. His last win came in January 2022 when he scored a TKO win over Donald Cerrone in less than a minute.
McGregor is the former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion and holds notable wins over Jose Aldo, Dustin Poirier, Max Holloway, Chad Mendes, and Eddie Alvarez.
