Conor McGregor Returns to UFC After Nearly Three Years Out
After a lengthy hiatus from the octagon, Conor McGregor is set to make his comeback at UFC 303 on June 29th. The former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion will face off against Michael Chandler in what promises to be an electrifying welterweight bout.
McGregor, 35, last competed in the UFC in July 2021, where he suffered a devastating leg break during his fight against Dustin Poirier. Now, after nearly three years away from the sport, McGregor is eager to reclaim his status as one of the UFC’s biggest stars.
Dana White, the president of the UFC, confirmed McGregor’s return and the matchup against Chandler following UFC 300 in Las Vegas. The fight will be contested over five rounds, marking the end of International Fight Week.
Despite his absence, McGregor remains one of the most iconic figures in mixed martial arts, boasting an impressive record of 22 wins and six defeats. However, he faces a tough challenge in Chandler, who holds a record of 23 wins and eight defeats.
As the anticipation builds for McGregor’s return, fans are eagerly awaiting to see if the Irish superstar can recapture his former glory inside the octagon.
