Conor McGregor has been backed to make an emphatic return in his UFC comeback fight despite being without a win in over three years.
McGregor, 34, will look to get back in the winning column later this year when he faces Michael Chandler after coaching against the American on The Ultimate Fighter. Filming for the UFC's reality TV show has begun Las Vegas with the series to air from May to August, with McGregor and Chandler expected to fight shortly after that.
'Notorious' spent the entirety of last year on the sidelines after breaking his leg against Dustin Poirier in their July 2021 trilogy fight. The defeat marked McGregor's second to Poirier that year having also been stopped by him in their January rematch. Chandler predicts that his opponent will look as good as new in their fight after a lengthy absence from competition.
