It’s official! Conor McGregor is going back in the cage and it’s going to be a brawl!

Conor McGregor is back in the cage. Dana White has confirmed that the star Irishman will be part of the next series of The Ultimate Fighter and also revealed the opponent he will face after a long enforced hiatus.

It’s here! Mixed martial arts fans around the world will finally see the return of the legendary Conor McGregor. UFC President Dana White revealed the background behind the return of his biggest star at the ongoing UFC Fight Night event in Las Vegas.

It’s been almost two years since we’ve seen him in action. After a nasty broken leg in a fight with Dustin Poirier filled the rather tabloid media, but now he’s back and we definitely have something to look forward to.

In fact, White has confirmed the information that the star Irishman himself leaked to the world some time ago. In fact, McGregor will participate as a coach in the next series of The Ultimate Fighter and his opponent will be Michael Chandler.

Conor will thus give a reminder of his memorable participation in the series with Uriah Faber, which enjoyed huge fan support. The Irish fighter entertained fans back then with his distinctive humor and shootout with Cody Garbrandt.

The media initially speculated that Tony Ferguson would be the opponent of the Irish fighter, but in the end everything is different. At the end of the reality show, which will take place from late May to mid-August, the two men will face each other in a battle.

We are sure to see a bloody war. Chandler certainly doesn’t tact in his fights, which makes his battles an attractive spectacle.

No date or venue has been announced yet, but it is clear that the fight will take place after the reality show is over.
