UFC legend Chael Sonnen has expressed his concern over how serious Conor McGregor and the UFC are about his comeback, calling his return fight with Michael Chandler "weird".
McGregor has been out of action since July 2021 when he suffered a broken leg during his trilogy bout with Dustin Poirier, but is back in training and keen to make his way back into the octagon. He has just filmed a season of The Ultimate Fighter with Michael Chandler, whom he is expected to face later this year, although no date has been set.
And former middleweight and lightweight contender Sonnen believes there are still doubts over whether or not the fight will happen, particularly given McGregor's struggled with the US Anti-Doping Agency. The Irishman is in need of a six-month period back in their testing pool and two negative tests after previously 'retiring' while he worked on his injury.
