Conor McGregor backed to retire Michael Chandler after releasing face-off photo

Conor McGregor has been told he will retire Michael Chandler after the pair came face-to-face ahead of their UFC fight.

The Irish star has been out of action for nearly two years after breaking his leg against Dustin Poirier, but has announced he will make his comeback against Chandler as part of the UFC's latest series of The Ultimate Fighter. McGregor looks in great shape since taking time away from the octagon, and it is expected the contest will take place at 170lb.

McGregor has been in Las Vegas filming for the coaching stint of the competition against Chandler, with the pair having reportedly been involved in a heated altercation while working with their teams. After resolving their issues, McGregor has since posted a series of face-off pictures from the cage ahead of their upcoming showdown.
