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.
