Conor McGregor, the legendary UFC fighter, has revealed that he would return to fight in 2024. This is indeed a new year wish comes true for UFC fans as McGregor on his X (formerly Twitter) handle that he will return to Octagon this year.
McGregor also revealed the identity of his fighter. The UFC veteran will fight Michael Chandler. The much awaited fight will take place on June 29.
“Ladies and gentlemen, happy new year to you all,” McGregor says in the video. “I'd like to announce the return date for myself, the notorious Conor McGregor, the greatest comeback of all time, will take place in Las Vegas for International Fight Week.”
A UFC spokesperson did not confirm or deny the fight. The 35-year-old McGregor, who hasn’t fought in the octagon since 2021, appeared to be at a restaurant drinking a glass of wine in the video. He said the bout would be in the middleweight (185-pound) class.
McGregor and the 37-year-old Chandler have coached against each other on “The Ultimate Fighter” television series. Chandler posted Sunday on social media in response to McGregor's announcement. “I always said I wanted you at your biggest, your baddest and your best,” Chandler wrote. “185 would look good on me.”
McGregor has been inactive since 2021, following a leg injury sustained in a bout against Dustin Poirier. During his recovery, he was temporarily removed from the USADA testing pool. However, he recently re-entered the pool after the UFC and the USADA concluded their anti-doping agreement.
In addition to his hiatus, McGregor found himself embroiled in controversy related to sexual assault allegations during a Miami Heat playoff game. In October, Miami police stated that the case was "closed," and the former champion was not charged with a crime.
