In the past few weeks, McGregor’s comeback to the UFC has taken over the MMA universe. Conor McGregor had announced he would be back in the UFC ring and was on his way to make the year’s biggest comeback. But who is he fighting? On New Year’s Eve, McGregor announced that he would be fighting against Michael Chandler on June 29, 2024.
Within minutes, Chandler replied, “I always said I wanted you at your biggest, baddest, and best. 185 pounds would look good on me.”
Now, again, he released a statement on McGregor:
“I’m not worried about where the weight is. I will finish Conor within the first two rounds and, after that, probably end his career.”
We are just six months away from one of the biggest rivalries. Both fighters eagerly wanted to face each other, but it never happened. On June 29th, during International Fight Week, they will finally get to take on each other.
