CONOR McGREGOR will make his long-awaited return to UFC on June 29 after nearly three years out, it was announced at the weekend.

Dana White confirmed that the former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion will fight Michael Chandler at UFC 303 in June.

McGregor — who has 22 wins and six UFC defeats — has not competed in the UFC since July 2021 when he sustained a horrific leg break against Dustin Poirier, who he had previously fought and lost to six months earlier.
