McGregor's Return to UFC
Conor McGregor is gearing up for his highly anticipated UFC comeback, aiming to fight Michael Chandler in a unique three-round format that hasn't been seen in over a decade. This decision breaks away from the traditional five-round main-event structure.
McGregor's Strategy
After suffering a leg injury in July 2021, McGregor believes that fighting three rounds will allow him to perform at his best, sharpening his skills for a more focused performance. The Irish icon expressed his preference for a three-round fight to ease back into the octagon after a three-year absence.
Changing the UFC Norm
McGregor, known for his groundbreaking approach to the sport, is willing to forego his headline status if necessary, challenging the norm of all main-event bouts being five rounds as mandated by UFC president Dana White in 2011. McGregor's willingness to adapt and innovate showcases his dedication to the sport.
McGregor's Unconventional Approach
Despite not competing in a fight shorter than five rounds since 2014, McGregor remains unfazed by the prospect of potentially being the first fight of the night. The MMA superstar's focus is solely on his performance and readiness to face Chandler in a thrilling showdown.
