Conor McGregor has been told that Michael Chandler is the perfect opponent for his UFC comeback fight.
McGregor has not fought since July 2021 when he broke his leg in a brutal defeat by Dustin Poirier which left his future in doubt. However after over a year of rehabilitation and recovery, the Irishman has announced he will make his comeback as part of the UFC's The Ultimate Fighter series where he will take on former 155lb contender Chandler.
The American star is also looking to bounce back from defeat by Poirier and it is expected he will make the switch to take the fight at 170lb. McGregor needs a win to restore his recent decline in form, where he has just one victory in his last four outings in the UFC.
