When is Conor McGregor vs Michael Chandler? Possible dates for UFC fight

Conor McGregor's UFC comeback has an opponent and a promotional plan, but we are still waiting on the location and the official fight date for his return.

The legendary two-weight world champion will take on Michael Chandler, first as an opposition coach on The Ultimate Fighter and then as a fighter. The pair have been generally respectful over the past few years, but former Bellator champion Chandler has made no secret of wanting to fight McGregor.

Starting in the coming weeks and airing in May for the entire summer, the pair will head to The Ultimate Fighter house where they will coach teams of former UFC fighters who have been cut against a team of prospects. It is unclear as yet when their eventual fight will take place, but McGregor needs six months of drug testing before he can make his comeback.
