Chandler, who had already exercised plenty of patience waiting for McGregor after they filmed Season 31 of “The Ultimate Fighter,” finally decided to move on. He rematches Charles Oliveira (34-10 MMA, 22-10 UFC) in Saturday’s UFC 309 (pay-per-view, ESPNews/Hulu/FX, ESPN+) co-main event at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Michael Chandler believes that Conor McGregor will forever ‘stain his legacy’ if he doesn’t fight him in his UFC return bout.

UFC CEO Dana White has pushed back Conor McGregor's UFC return date yet again. Conor McGregor withdrew from UFC 303 in June due to a toe injury and is currently defending himself in a civil suit related to sexual assault allegations from 2018.

Dana White reveals that Conor McGregor may not actually return until sometime in the latter part of 2025, which would mark over four years since his last appearance in the UFC.
