Former two-weight Octagon champion, Conor McGregor has been backed to land a destructive stoppage of Michael Chandler within just two minutes of the opening round by his head coach, John Kavanagh, after the Dubliner revealed today he would be returning at UFC 302 on June 29. during International Fight Week next year.
McGregor, a former undisputed lightweight and featherweight champion under the banner of the promotion, has yet to make good on a comeback to the sport since he headlined UFC 264 back in July, suffering a first round doctor’s stoppage TKO loss to Dustin Poirier, after fracturing his left tibia and fibula in the opening round.
