Conor McGregor announces next fight against Michael Chandler with surprise twist

Conor McGregor stated on his social media platform that he plans to have his next fight in June with Michael Chandler. In an unexpected move, he specified that the fight would take place at middleweight.

The individual who is currently 35 years of age hasn't engaged in any fights since July of last year, in which he sustained a leg injury during his loss to Dustin Poirier. This defeat added to the three losses he has experienced in his last four fights.

People have been anticipating that Chandler would be Conor McGregor's next rival, but followers of The Notorious will have to be patient for more half a year to witness him compete once again, presuming his statement is truthful.

McGregor has announced on social media that he will be facing Chandler on June 29th in a different weight category, although the UFC has not yet confirmed this.

"Hello everyone, wishing you all a joyous New Year. I am pleased to inform you about the day I will be coming back," McGregor declared.

The infamous Conor McGregor is set to make a remarkable comeback in Las Vegas during the International Fight Week on June 29th. He'll be taking on Michael Chandler, who'll be fighting at 185lb. This is poised to be a highly anticipated showdown.

Chandler appeared content with the sudden change, responding: 'I've always stated that I desire you at your peak, your fiercest, and your optimum level. 185 pounds would complement my appearance.'

Remember, there was a fighter who naturally weighed less and began his UFC journey by fighting selected opponents who were lighter than him.

Both fighters have no experience competing in the middleweight division, and there is uncertainty about whether the bout will be held at the designated weight of 185 pounds.

McGregor chuckles cheerfully in his video declaration, asserting that the fight will be in the middleweight category while also taking a sip of wine.

According to Ariel Helwani, McGregor expressed interest in participating in the UFC 300 event taking place in April. However, during a meeting with the UFC last week, it was decided that he would instead fight in June.
