McGregor's Summer Comeback
Conor McGregor is making an emotional plea to the UFC for a summer return, specifically targeting June 29 for his comeback fight. The former two-division champion has been vocal about his desire to face Michael Chandler at UFC 303, despite UFC president Dana White pushing for an autumn return instead.
McGregor's Determination
The 'Roadhouse' star is not backing down and has urged the UFC to finalize his return, stating, "I'm hoping to get it. You can tell Hunter [Campbell] to start to get the ball rolling. I've got my team here, we're ready to go. So hopefully June 29, please."
Long-Awaited Return
McGregor, who hasn't fought since his leg injury in July 2021, has been eager to step back into the octagon after completing his rehab. Expressing his frustrations on social media, McGregor emphasized the need for a decision soon, citing a lack of action and enthusiasm surrounding his return.
McGregor's Message
Sharing his hopes for upcoming fights, McGregor wrote, "Still holding hope for June 29. Lack of action on it, however, is now causing lack of enthusiasm. I need a decision soon. Eliminate distractions and begin real work towards it."
