Conor McGregor Michael Chandler Fight Date Set

Conor McGregor returns to the octagon to face Michael Chandler at UFC 303 on June 29 in Las Vegas.

Conor McGregor is making his long-awaited return to the octagon, and fans couldn't be more excited. After over a year of anticipation, McGregor will finally face off against Michael Chandler in the main event of UFC 303 on June 29 in Las Vegas. The announcement was made by UFC CEO Dana White, who revealed that the fight was originally planned for last year but had to be postponed due to various reasons.

White explained that McGregor had a lot of obligations outside of the octagon, including his business ventures such as Proper 12 whiskey and Tidl sports recovery products. Despite his busy schedule, McGregor is known for his dedication to training and ensuring he is fully prepared for his fights. His last fight was in July 2021, where he unfortunately suffered a broken leg against Dustin Poirier.

Chandler, on the other hand, has also been eagerly waiting for this matchup. After a loss to Poirier in November 2022, Chandler has been itching to get back into the octagon and prove himself against McGregor. The tension between the two fighters escalated when Chandler called out McGregor during WWE's Monday Night Raw, demanding that he return to the octagon for their long-awaited showdown.

Now that the fight is officially set, both McGregor and Chandler are gearing up for what promises to be an epic battle. The fight will take place at 170 pounds and will be the highlight of UFC's annual International Fight Week. Fans can expect fireworks as these two warriors finally face off in the octagon after months of anticipation. Get ready for an unforgettable night of action and excitement as McGregor and Chandler go head-to-head in UFC 303.
