Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler fight at UFC 303 on June 29
Conor McGregor’s comeback fight is finally official after the UFC announced he will fight Michael Chandler at UFC 303.
UFC legend McGregor has been sidelined since breaking his leg in his trilogy fight against Dustin Poirier in July 2021, but is set to return almost three yeears later against Michael Chandler. The UFC rivals coached against each other on season 31 of the promotion’s reality TV show The Ultimate Fighter when their fight was announced last year.
Chandler has also been patiently waiting for the fight since he was tapped out by Poirier in November 2022. The former Bellator MMA world champion has put together a record of 2-3 since joining the UFC three years ago and will look for his third win in the promotion by beating McGregor. So here’s all you need to know about the fight…

McGregor: “I think I’m just going to slice through him. I think I’m a little too slicy for him than anyone else he’s fought. A little too snappy and whippy. I think I’ll slice through him.”
Chandler: “I finish Conor within the first two rounds and after that, probably end his career. There’s just so much more than what people think about on the surface level. I want battlegrounds of epic proportions, I want to stand in the cage with that man, I want to break that man’s will, I want to break his jaw.”
