McGregor confirms year-end UFC comeback
Conor McGregor is setting his sights on a major return to the UFC ring by year's end. "My comeback is scheduled for the end of the year sometime. The end of this year, closing out the show," McGregor shared with ESPN. His declaration brings a wave of excitement and a fair share of questions, especially following a setback that yanked him from a much-anticipated fight.
"And, you know, it is what it is. We take it on the chin, we rock on," he explained, shedding light on the unpredictability that has marked his recent career.
Previously, McGregor was all set to face Michael Chandler at UFC 303, a bout that promised fireworks and a coaching clash from The Ultimate Fighter 31. However, just as anticipation peaked, McGregor abruptly withdrew, citing a toe injury that occurred mere weeks before the fight.

"For me, I've got a bit of business left with the Ultimate Fighting Championship, two fights left on my contract," McGregor shared at a press conference in Marbella. "But for sure we have three lightweights up here and I have my eye on all of this. I'm not here just as an owner; player-manager I'd title myself on this."
He didn’t hold back on his excitement for BKFC, either. "BKFC is the No.1 in the space by a mile. We are different, we are not like anyone else in the space," McGregor said. "For me, BKFC right now is No.1 in the space and there is no-one close to it."
Before his scheduled fight with Michael Chandler at UFC 303, McGregor hinted at negotiations with the UFC for a new deal. "I have two fights left on my UFC contract. We’re currently in negotiation stage with the UFC. Let’s see what happens. Let’s see what takes place," he stated.
In the same press conference, Conor McGregor also made sure to hit at his former foe Khabib Nurmagomedov. With his return scheduled and future endeavors taking shape, one question remains: can McGregor reclaim his throne and dominate once more?
