McGregor's Potential Return

Conor McGregor, who hasn't fought since breaking his leg three years ago, is expected to make his comeback against Michael Chandler. McGregor stated that their showdown would close out International Fight Week on June 29. However, UFC President Dana White recently cast doubt on McGregor's return, claiming he doesn't know when the Irishman will be "ready" to fight again.
