Conor McGregor's December return approved: UFC star and Michael Chandler agree on a date after Dana White's official update

Conor McGregor has caused another stir in the MMA scene! The Notorious' return to the Octagon has become a source of massive speculation since the abrupt cancellation of his UFC 303 fight against Michael Chandler. Due to a toe injury, McGregor pulled out of the fight at short notice, leaving fans wondering whether or not they will see him compete again in 2024.

UFC CEO Dana White also recently indicated that the Irishman was ready to fight again, but that he was not sure if the comeback would happen this year. At a recent press conference after the DWCS (Dana White Contender Series) competition, the UFC boss said: “…yeah, he wants to fight. So we'll find out. Not this year. He's not going to fight this year.” However, in a new social media update, Conor McGregor made a bold statement!
