Conor McGregor UFC Fight in Late 2023 Remains Possible, Michael Chandler Says

Conor McGregor's return to UFC may be coming in 2023.

Michael Chandler, who would be McGregor's opponent in his return, said that he has been in touch with UFC about a potential December fight.

"I talked to (UFC chief business officer) Hunter Campbell less than 48 hours ago," Chandler said, per Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com. "It's a constant moving target. I do think December isn't out of the question. By the end of the year isn't out of the question."

McGregor has hinted at a December return at UFC 296, which is scheduled for December 16.
