Unbeaten welterweight striker, Ian Machado Garry has claimed the ‘OG’ Conor McGregor has returned amid his earmarked UFC comeback next year against former lightweight championship challenger, Michael Chandler, following a recent sparring session between the duo in Ireland.
Machado Garry, the current number ten ranked welterweight contender, returns to the Octagon next month at UFC 296, booking a main card clash with Kill Cliff FC staple, Vicente Luque in a high-stakes matchup in Las Vegas.
Sidelined since July 2021, Conor McGregor most recently suffered a first round doctor’s stoppage TKO loss to three-time rival, Dustin Poirier, fracturing his left tibia and fibula in the opening round of their trilogy rubber match at UFC 264.
