In the video, McGregor confidently announced, “The greatest comeback of all time will take place in Las Vegas for International Fight Week on June 29. The opponent, Michael Chandler. And the weight, Mr. Chandler? 185 pounds (laughs).”
This news comes as a surprise to many fans who were hoping to see McGregor at UFC 300 in April, but it looks like the Irishman is saving his comeback for a later date. That being said, it will certainly be worth the wait to see him headline International Fight Week at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas!
As for his opponent, Michael Chandler was always a logical choice, especially since the two previously coached TUF against one another. There has been some speculation about McGregor avoiding Chandler, but all that chatter is officially put to rest as they are set to face off in the Octagon this summer.
