Conor McGregor is once again in the news with the release of ‘The Ultimate Fighter 31’ – TV show this week. McGregor is one of the coaches alongside Michael Chandler and MMA fans are keen to watch the show as McGregor is still must watch television.
The UFC usually gets the two coaches on the Ultimate Fighter season to fight during International Fight Week which takes place in July. However, the UFC is yet to announce an official date for McGregor vs. Chandler since McGregor only recently entered the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) testing pool and will have to go through 6 months of testing before he can compete.
McGregor Promises Greatest Comeback In MMA
McGregor has not fought in the UFC since July 2021 when he broke his leg in the Octagon fighting Dustin Poirier. He has told MMA fans that he is likely to make his return in either Nov or Dec 2023 and promised them that it will be the greatest return in MMA as he put his Mystic Mac hat and predicted a KO win over Chandler.
McGregor said that he hoped he would be able to fight consistently in the UFC like before and start the journey with a win over Chandler.
