Conor McGregor Fight Update: UFC News: Conor McGregor, a former two-weight champion, is widely rumoured to be making a comeback to the Octagon, and speculation about this is growing as each day goes by. However, as far as the Dubliner is concerned, things seem to be going about as usual. Follow UFC News Updates with InsideSports.IN.
Conor McGregor, who has been linked to a comeback bout before the end of the year, was Michael Chandler’s opponent on The Ultimate Fighter 31 this year. Michael Chandler is the number five-ranked lightweight and a past lightweight title challenger.

McGregor has missed the six-month USADA deadline, making it doubtful that he will take the ring on December 16th in the UFC’s expected final PPV (pay-per-view) event of the year.
Although USADA might exempt the former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion from the six-month waiting period and allow him to return, it hasn’t done so as of yet. Therefore, it is generally agreed that McGregor’s comeback would happen no earlier than 2024.
Fans are clutching their shamrocks in anticipation of ‘The Notorious’ Conor McGregor’s comeback after a wave of miscalculations and USADA roadblocks. The original UFC plans to match him up with Michael Chandler immediately following The Ultimate Fighter 31 appear to have failed. There hasn’t been any mention of the McGregor vs. Chandler battle despite the fact that four episodes of TUF 31 have already aired.

McGregor has insisted that he will return to combat sports in the near future and recently told fans that he is “looking to get a fight going” during an impromptu autograph signing outside his hotel in New York City, with a welterweight matchup between the two still very much in the works.
Although McGregor’s remark rekindled the excitement, the truth is that his exclusion from the USADA testing pool isn’t aiding in his recovery.
