Conor McGregor breaks silence after confirming UFC comeback against Michael Chandler

Conor McGregor has promised that he is "energetic and ready" for his UFC comeback fight with Michael Chandler after two years out of the octagon.

The legendary former two-weight world champion's comeback was announced earlier this month, but aside from a few retweets and some vague picture captions, he has remained quiet on the bout. But just hours before he flies out to Las Vegas to shoot the reality show, he finally broke his silence in an exclusive chat with Mirror Fighting.

McGregor was out at his Dublin hotspot The Black Forge Inn for a meeting with boxing promoter Eddie Hearn about potentially getting involved with his countrywoman Katie Taylor's homecoming fight in May. And after a final night spent with friends and fans at his hometown pub, the Irishman will leave on Tuesday to begin the build-up for his return fight.
