Follow usUFC fighter Conor McGregor has revealed that his highly anticipated return to the UFC will be announced soon. The Irishman will return to the octagon later this year for a mouthwatering clash with fan favorite Michael Chandler. However, the UFC have yet to announce a date for the fight as McGregor appears to be out of their drug testing suite.
But McGregor insists all will be revealed in the coming weeks, telling TMZ: “Soon, very soon. There will be an announcement soon.”
The delay in announcing the McGregor vs. Chandler bout is due to the fact that the Irishman has yet to be re-entered into the United States Anti-Doping Agency’s testing pool.
