After nearly two years away, bantamweight Michael McDonald is finally ready to make his return to the Octagon.
As reported on UFC tonight, McDonald's coach Jason House said the 24-year old McDonald -- who has been dealing with a nagging right hand injury for a long while -- is hoping to come back before the end of 2015.
"Mayday" McDonald last competed in on UFC of FOX 9, on Dec. 2013 against Urijah Faber. Then only 22 years old, McDonald lost that night in Sacramento a second-round submission (guillotine). Before then he had gone 5-1 in the UFC, with key victories over Miguel Torres and Brad Pickett.
