Conor McGregor is set to return to the octagon after a three-year hiatus to fight Michael Chandler at UFC 303 on June 29, following a promo released by UFC to welcome him back after his recovery from a broken leg in 2021.
It’s been nearly three years, can you believe it? Conor McGregor, the man, the myth, the legend, is stepping back into the octagon. And it’s happening on June 29. His opponent? Michael Chandler. The event? UFC 303.
The anticipation is real, folks. UFC’s even released a new promo that’ll give you goosebumps. It’s McGregor’s first fight since that gut-wrenching leg break in 2021.
The promo’s got this eerie vibe. McGregor’s lurking in the shadows. And you can hear The Foggy Dew playing. You know, his signature walkout song. The one with Sinead O’Connor’s haunting vocals.
And this is just the beginning. UFC’s got a whole slew of promos and trailers lined up. They’re pulling out all the stops to welcome McGregor back after his long hiatus.
The main event? McGregor vs. Chandler. It’s the cherry on top of International Fight Week. And where’s it all going down? The T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, baby.
But there’s more to this fight. It’s the culmination of a rivalry that’s been brewing for over a year. Remember when McGregor and Chandler were picked to coach The Ultimate Fighter 31? They were supposed to fight right after, but things got delayed.
Well, the wait’s over. The fight’s official. McGregor. Chandler. Five rounds. 170 pounds. UFC 303. It’s on.
