On June 29, at UFC 303, McGregor will return to the octagon after a break of nearly three years.
Dana White has declared that Michael Chandler, the former UFC lightweight and featherweight champion, will face the former.
According to Sports News, the UFC announced on Saturday that a five-round welterweight match will take place at the conclusion of International Fight Week in Las Vegas, following UFC 300.
With 22 victories and 6 losses, McGregor, 35, has not participated in a UFC match since July 2021 due to a leg injury he suffered against Dustin Poirier.
Six months before, he had faced Poirier in a fight but lost.
Chandler, McGregor’s opponent, has 23 victories.
