Conor McGregor could be cageside to call out Leon Edwards vs Kamaru Usman winner

Conor McGregor is planning to campaign for a UFC title shot at welterweight after facing Michael Chandler - and could be cageside for Leon Edwards' rematch with Kamaru Usman.

The UFC star will return for the first time in nearly two years when he takes on Chandler this year as part of the UFC's latest instalment of The Ultimate Fighter. McGregor has been going through extensive rehabilitation since breaking his leg almost two years ago and has piled on the pounds showing off a ripped physique since taking time away from fighting action.

McGregor himself has claimed on multiple occasions that he intends to meet Chandler at 170lb despite official confirmation yet to be made, where the belt is currently held by British star Leon Edwards. And the 34-year-old has suggested he will attend Edwards' clash with Usman on Saturday to size up his potential rivals.
