The Notorious return is expected to be fireworks.
UFC President Dana White revealed to ESPN’s Brett Okamoto that the plan for the return of Conor McGregor is set to have him fight Michael Chandler.
Conor McGregor (22-6) has lost back-to-back fights to Dustin Poirier. Before that, he TKO’d Donald Cerrone in his return to the sport.
The win over ‘Cowboy’ was his first since the loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov which also marked his return to MMA after he boxed Floyd Mayweather.
Michael Chandler (23-8) is just 2-3 in the UFC and is coming off a submission loss to Dustin Poirier. Prior to that, he knocked out Tony Ferguson to snap his two-fight losing skid.
On the losing streak, he dropped a decision to Justin Gaethje and was knocked out by Charles Oliveira for the belt. In his UFC debut, he knocked out Dan Hooker in the first round.
