Former lightweight title challenger, Michael Chandler claims the possibility of him facing off with long-time foe, Conor McGregor at the middleweight limit is currently up in the air as far as he is concerned, however, he’s locked in for the possibility of a slated June 29. clash with the UFC star.
Chandler, the current number five ranked lightweight contender, has been sidelined since he featured at UFC 281 back in November 2022, suffering a third round rear-naked choke submission loss to Dustin Poirier in a rallying performance from the former interim champion.
Coming up on three years away from the Octagon, ex-two-weight champion, McGregor has yet to feature since he fractured his left tibia and fibula in a first round doctor’s stoppage TKO loss to Poirier at UFC 264 in the pair’s trilogy rubber match.
However, over the course of last weekend, McGregor revealed he would be returning to the Octagon at an earmarked UFC 302 card during International Fight Week next – featuring on June 29. in a middleweight fight against The Ultimate Fighter 31 opposing coach, Chandler.
