Former Double Champion Conor McGregor was recently spotted sparring and the fans are hyped up for his impending return to the octagon.
‘Notorious’ has been on the sidelines since suffering a freak leg break during his 2021 trilogy bout against Dustin Poirier. The injury put him on the shelf for a long time and he required major surgery and rehab. It has been noted that the Irishman returned to full fitness at the back end of last year.
Conor McGregor could be back soon
McGregor is expected to return to face Michael Chandler and that could well take place at the upcoming milestone UFC 300 as the pair ignited their feud during their stint as coaches opposite one another on season 31 of The Ultimate Fighter.
UFC is yet to announce the main event of the show and fans are speculating Conor McGregor vs Michael Chandler. ‘Notorious’ had also released a video on New Years Day where he stated that he would be facing Chandler on the UFC’s International Fight Week card in June.
As Conor McGregor gears up for his long-awaited return to UFC, he has shared some of his sparring footage, which grabbed the attention of the fans.
