Conor McGregor starts his long walk back to the octagon this week when he returns to our TV screens as one half of The Ultimate Fighter coaching team.
The legendary two-weight world champion has managed to remain in the headlines, for right or wrong, during his two-year absence from the action following a gruesome broken leg against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264. But he's fit and ready to go, beginning his comeback with the task of taking on Michael Chandler; first as a trainer and then as a fighter.
McGregor and Chandler's friendly back-and-forth has been seen to get heated at times, and it's sure to be an exciting few weeks of television when the pair are finally brought into homes around the world this week. It's the first time many fans will have seen the Irishman around the sport since 2021, and it will be fascinating to see if he's still got it.
