Conor McGregor has once again been called out by top lightweights Charles Oliveira and Michael Chandler as he ramps up his workouts for a UFC comeback.
The Irishman is pushing to get back into the cage later this year or early in 2023, after gruesomely breaking his leg during the first round of his trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier last July. And despite being out of action for what will have been well over a year by the time he gets back, McGregor has remained a name discussed by top fighters for the past 12 months.
And both Chandler and Oliveira, who is the lightweight champion in all but name after being stripped for missing weight in May, have been angling for fights with McGregor. Chandler used his post-fight interview after beating Tony Ferguson to call for the fight while Oliveira continues to offer up the belt for a super-fight with the Irishman.
