Former two-weight champion, has cryptically asked to be freed in some new training footage posted — amid links to a potential return at the end of the year in a rescheduled pairing against Michael Chandler in the main event of UFC 310 in a welterweight matchup.
McGregor, a former undisputed lightweight champion and featherweight gold holder, was slated to headline UFC 303 at the end of June, taking main event honors against the above-mentioned, Chandler during International Fight Week.
However, fracturing a toe on his left foot in the weeks ahead of his hiatus-snapping comeback, Dublin striker, McGregor has yet to fight since he broke his left tibia and fibula against common-foe, Dustin Poirier back in 2021.
