Initially, McGregor had announced his return to the Octagon on June 29, with a middleweight bout against Chandler. However, the recent exchange on social media has raised questions about the potential shift in plans, and UFC fans are now eagerly awaiting official confirmation from the organization.

Conor McGregor, 35, is gearing up for a significant comeback following a leg injury that sidelined him since his loss to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in July 2021. In addition to his return to the UFC, McGregor is set to make his mark in the film industry with a starring role in the movie “Road House,” premiering on Amazon Prime on March 21.

The matchup between McGregor and Chandler has been a subject of discussion for over two years, with Chandler actively calling out McGregor and both fighters serving as opposing coaches on The Ultimate Fighter 31. The anticipation for their showdown has only increased, and UFC 300 could potentially witness the culmination of this long-anticipated rivalry.

As fans eagerly await official announcements from the UFC, the prospect of a McGregor-Chandler clash at UFC 300 adds an extra layer of excitement to the landmark event.

Notably, McGregor, 35, has been inactive since 2021 due to a leg injury suffered in a fight against Dustin Poirier. During his recovery, he was temporarily removed from the USADA testing pool. However, he has recently re-entered the pool following the conclusion of the anti-doping agreement between the UFC and the USADA.

In addition to his hiatus, McGregor faced controversy related to sexual assault allegations during a Miami Heat playoff game. In October, Miami police closed the case, stating that McGregor was not charged with a crime.

The upcoming matchup against Michael Chandler adds another layer of intrigue to McGregor’s return, as the two have previously coached against each other on “The Ultimate Fighter” television series. As fans eagerly await the International Fight Week in June, McGregor’s announcement has undoubtedly generated buzz and excitement within the UFC community.
