While McGregor’s announcement has ignited enthusiasm among fans, the UFC is yet to officially confirm the bout or announce the event scheduled for June 29. However, McGregor strategically aligned his comeback date with the timeframe of International Fight Week, historically hosted by the UFC in early July.
If the matchup materializes, it will mark Conor McGregor’s return to the octagon after a hiatus following a dramatic leg injury suffered in a loss to longtime rival Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in July 2021.
The anticipation surrounding McGregor’s comeback is palpable, as fans eagerly await his attempt to reclaim his status as a two-division champion and solidify his legacy in the sport.
