McGregor has reached a deal with the UFC for his next fight

Former UFC champion in two weight categories Conor McGregor said that the long negotiations about his return to the octagon have finally succeeded.

According to a statement from the Irishman, his long-awaited fight with Mackle Chandler is expected to take place this summer.

"We received confirmation a few days ago. All systems are now up and running. McGregor will return to the UFC octagon this summer.

There's still no way Chandler will shut up. I saw him on a WWE show. I like Michael, but I'm going to beat him. If I said it, consider it done," - quotes McGregor ESPN.

Recall that McGregor has not competed since July 2021, when he lost by technical knockout to Dustin Puryear. In that fight, the Irishman suffered a severe leg fracture.
