When Will Conor McGregor Return?
UFC president Dana White confirmed that McGregor would step back into the Octagon in 2024. However, the specifics—opponent and date—remain shrouded in mystery. The last time we saw McGregor in action was at UFC 264 in July 2021, where he faced Dustin Poirier and suffered a TKO loss. His last victory came in January 2020 against Donald Cerrone. Make sure not to miss out on McGregor’s return to the UFC. For information on how to watch upcoming UFC, Tvsports.in offers a complete schedule for upcoming fighting events on TV and stream
Challenger: Michael Chandler or someone else
McGregor’s social media buzz ignited when he announced a fight with Michael Chandler at 185 pounds during International Fight Week in Las Vegas. The Irishman boldly declared it the “greatest comeback of all time”. Chandler, a former Bellator champion, responded affirmatively, expressing his willingness to fight McGregor at any weight class. Both fighters have traditionally competed below 185 pounds, but Chandler’s enthusiasm knows no bounds.
Special Mention: Nate Diaz
While Chandler is a strong contender, another name looms large: Nate Diaz. Diaz, who has faced McGregor twice, hinted on social media that he’d be keen on a trilogy fight. Diaz’s last Octagon appearance was a submission win over Tony Ferguson at UFC 279 in September 2022. Could we witness Part 3 of McGregor vs. Diaz? Only time will tell.
Conclusion
As the UFC gears up for McGregor’s return, the MMA world holds its breath. Whether it’s Chandler or Diaz, fans can expect fireworks. McGregor’s charisma, knockout power, and flair for the dramatic will undoubtedly make his comeback a must-watch event.
