UFC boss Dana White has confirmed Conor McGregor's fight against Michael Chandler will take place in either November or December.
McGregor, 34, returns to the octagon for the first time in over two years when he faces Chandler after recently coaching against his UFC rival on The Ultimate Fighter. No date or venue has yet been announced for the fight but McGregor recently told Mirror Fighting that an announcement will be made during one of The Ultimate Fighter episodes, with the series airing at the end of this month.
White has confirmed McGregor must complete six months of drug-testing before being eligible to face Chandler. According to the promotion's calendar for the rest of the year, there are only two pay-per-view events that could host McGregor's return. UFC 295, which will take place at Madison Square Garden in November, and UFC 296, which will likely take place in Las Vegas in December.
