Conor McGregor posts promising update on planned UFC fight with Michael Chandler

Conor McGregor has reassured fans he is preparing for his planned UFC comeback fight against Michael Chandler.

Former two-weight champion McGregor, 34, is gearing up for his first fight in over two years against former Bellator world champion Chandler. The fight is expected to take place at UFC 296 on December 16 in Las Vegas, but this date has been put in jeopardy as McGregor is yet to re-enter the USADA testing pool to complete six months of mandatory drug testing before his return.

Fans are worried McGregor won't fight Chandler because of a lack of training footage on his social media accounts. The Irishman has maintained that he is serious about fighting Chandler, as he tweeted: "I look forward to my upcoming fight. I am well in preparation."
