We bring you all the latest news about Conor McGregor’s next fight. <\/p>
Conor McGregor has enjoyed his longest retirement to date, but those days appear to be drawing to a close with increasing reports swirling around a UFC comeback bout in 2023.<\/p>\n
McGregor was defeated by Dustin Poirer twice in 2021, the second occasion saw McGregor fracture his tibia and fibula, and he appeared to retire from the sport for the fourth time in his career in August 2022 with a classically cryptic Instagram post.<\/p>\n
However, the 34-year-old Irishman appears to be closing in on a return showdown against Michael Chandler who, despite being three years older than McGregor, has continued to rack up the fights under his belt in recent years.<\/p>\n
RadioTimes.com<\/a> brings you all the latest updates with regards to Conor McGregor\u2019s next fight<\/p>\n McGregor looks set to make a comeback to fight Chandler in the second half of 2023, given that we\u2019re already into May, a formal announcement could be near, although McGregor is Notorious by name, notorious by nature when it comes to predictability.<\/p>\n UFC boss Dana White said: \u201cI think that\u2019s the fight that people want to see right now. I think that\u2019s an exciting fight. Chandler and Conor were very respectful to each other [during filming of The Ultimate Fighter], and then some things started escalating that you\u2019ll see on the show.<\/p> \u201cThey do not like each other now. A lot of s**t went down. I don\u2019t look at stuff that\u2019s good for the show or things like that. Whatever happens, happens. The stuff that just happened shouldn\u2019t have happened, and I\u2019m getting old \u2013 I would have been in there sooner back in the day, but [it wasn\u2019t] good.\u201d<\/p>\n White\u2019s most recent comment on the potential showdown came in May 2023. When asked about the status of the bout, he responded bluntly: \u201cI don\u2019t know\u2026 [UFC] will be working very hard to put the fight together.\u201d<\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking for something else to watch, check out our\u00a0TV Guide<\/a> or\u00a0Streaming Guide<\/b><\/a>\u00a0or visit our Sport<\/a> hub for all the latest news.<\/strong><\/p>\n Try Radio Times magazine today and get 12 issues for only \u00a31 with delivery to your home \u2013 <\/strong>subscribe now<\/strong><\/a>.
