After almost three years of hiatus, Conor McGregor is preparing to return to the octagon on June 29, ready to rekindle the flame of his career. The Irishman’s long-awaited return to UFC finally has a date set: June 29th, at UFC 303.
To warm up the mood for his big return, the organization released a chilling trailer that captures the aura of mystery and intensity that surrounds the former featherweight (up to 65.7kg) and lightweight (up to 70.3kg) champion.
To the sound of the iconic ‘The Foggy Dew’, by the late Sinead O’Connor, McGregor emerges as an enigmatic figure, ready to retake his place at the top of the sport. The trailer is a foreshadowing of the rivalry to be expected against michael chandlera rivalry that has been going on for over a year.
The fight, scheduled for welterweight (up to 77kg), will be fought over five rounds. McGregor, known for his striking personality and aggressive fighting style, is seeking to redeem the devastating leg fracture he suffered in his last fight. Chandler, former Bellator champion, tries to shock the world and reaffirm his value.
McGregor’s return is a historic event for the UFC, marking the return of one of the sport’s biggest icons. The event is expected to be one of the most watched in the organization’s history.
