Conor McGregor’s Potential Return to the Octagon
Conor McGregor, the former double champion in mixed martial arts, has been absent from the octagon for nearly three years since his leg injury at UFC 264. While McGregor has expressed his desire to make a comeback and face Michael Chandler at International Fight Week in June, no official announcement has been made.
There have also been speculations about a contract dispute between McGregor and the promotion. Nate Diaz, who had his own contract issues before leaving the UFC, recently showed support for his long-time rival on Twitter.
"This was me for years before Conor even got here. They want you to die before you get out of these contracts. It’s up to you to make something happen. No one’s gonna help you but you. Free Conor! It’s St. Patrick’s Day in this bi**h ☘️"
McGregor responded to Diaz’s tweet on Instagram, acknowledging their iconic rivalry and hinting at the need for it to be settled.
McGregor has expressed his interest in facing Chandler at UFC 303 during International Fight Week in June. He has also mentioned his desire to fight Diaz at UFC 306 on Mexican Independence Day in September.

Conor McGregor’s Frustrations and UFC Return
McGregor has been vocal about his frustration with the delays in his return to the octagon. In an interview with The Mac Life at the premiere of ‘Road House’, he shared his disappointment.
"I was hoping for a December date, then a January date, then it keeps getting pushed back, then I lose interest and stop training for a while. Not stop training, I’m always training, but stop full training and [start] drinking a little bit. So I’m going to go back, regroup, get fully tested, and get ready to rock. The date’s going to come, and then I’ll be ready to rock."
McGregor’s comments suggest that there may be underlying issues causing the delays in his return. Rumors have circulated that he has two fights remaining on his UFC contract and is seeking a way out. The exact date of his highly-anticipated comeback is yet to be determined.
