Former UFC two divisional champion Notorious Conor McGregor was all set and geared up for his return to action in the UFC octagon after a long injury layoff of almost three years at UFC 303, pay-per-view this year in June. 

Conor McGregor was scheduled to fight sixth-ranked UFC lightweight contender Michael Chandler in a five-round main event match at UFC 303 pay-per-view on June 29, 2024, at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada, part of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Area, United States. 

Unfortunately, the UFC canceled the much-awaited fight between Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler at the UFC 303 pay-per-view after McGregor injured his toe while preparing for his comeback. 

Conor McGregor and his team said they will be back in the UFC octagon sooner than fans can predict. Yesterday, Michael Chandler dropped a major regarding his match getting rescheduled with Conor McGregor this year. Now, Notorious Conor McGregor has also finally confirmed his return. 

Notorious posted sparring footage showing his slick boxing skills on his official Twitter X account. A fan named Cal commented asking Conor McGregor for an update on his UFC return: “December champ?” McGregor confirmed and said, “Yes.” 

Conor McGregor is unarguably the biggest name in UFC history. He is widely regarded as the face of UFC promotion. Here is a compilation of all his UFC fights. He had some of the biggest matches in UFC, including ending Jose Aldo's streak by knocking him out under 13 seconds of the first round.
