UFC fans are eagerly anticipating the potential return of Conor McGregor to the Octagon, as hinted at by UFC President Dana White's recent Instagram story post. The video clip shows McGregor arriving at an undisclosed location with the caption 'coming soon,' sparking excitement among MMA enthusiasts.
This development comes amidst ongoing speculation about a potential matchup between McGregor and Michael Chandler, who has been vocal about his desire to face the former two-division champion. McGregor, who recently ventured into acting with a role in Amazon Prime's 'Road House' remake, last competed in July 2021, where he suffered a TKO loss to Dustin Poirier.
Following the defeat, McGregor endured a lengthy recovery due to a broken ankle sustained during the fight. Despite his setbacks, the Irish fighter has been diligently training in preparation for his Octagon return. McGregor has also expressed interest in a potential showdown with Nate Diaz at an upcoming UFC event scheduled to coincide with Mexican Independence Day Weekend at the Las Vegas Sphere in September.
While the specifics of McGregor's next fight remain uncertain, the buzz surrounding his potential comeback has generated significant anticipation within the MMA community. McGregor's return, if confirmed, is expected to draw considerable attention and could overshadow other upcoming UFC events, including the promotion's UFC Fight Night at the Apex and the WrestleMania weekend festivities.
