Michael Chandler has confirmed his UFC fight with Conor McGregor will take place at 170lb later this year.
McGregor has yet to compete in the octagon since breaking his leg in a secon consecutive defeat by Dustin Poirier in July 2021, but he has since made a return to training. His return to full training has now coincided with an official announcement of his comeback fight against Michael Chandler with the pair set to do battle on the UFC's The Ultimate Fighter series.
The American has been campaigning for a clash with McGregor for several months and even suggested he would move up to 170lb to meet his potential rival. The former double-champion has piled on the pounds since being out of action and suggested publicly that he would likely return at 170lb after showing off a stocky new physique.
