Conor McGregor's UFC return is likely delayed until early 2023, but Michael Chandler is still calling for a fight against the Irishman.
McGregor is in the final stages of recovering from a broken tibia he suffered in his trilogy fight against Dustin Poirier last July. The former two-weight champion is now able to use his compromised leg comfortably in training.
There were hopes that McGregor could have returned this summer or late autumn, but it seems likely he will delay his return until next year. UFC boss Dana White likes the idea of McGregor Chandler and 'Iron Mike' is relishing the chance of fighting the sport's biggest star.
