Conor McGregor was supposed to make his return to the Octagon during the UFC 303 in July 2024. The match was in the main event of the pay-per-view and the Irish MMA Fighter was pitted against Michael Chandler. It was supposed to be the return of McGregor to the UFC after he last fought in 2021. However, the Irish fighter suffered a setback on his MMA return as he had to pull out of the fight because of a broken toe.
McGregor's absence from the UFC continues, but Michael Chandler is not yet done with him as he is eager to fight the Irishman and put him in his place. It is yet to be seen what happens next.
