New “Notorious” fight news?!?
We all know by now that Conor McGregor’s highly anticipated return was supposed to go down earlier this month at UFC 303 against Michael Chandler; however, a broken pinky toe ruined it all. Alex Pereira went on to headline the event against Jiri Prochazka, and a violent knockout ensued.
Ever since the McGregor vs. Chandler cancellation, the promotion and UFC CEO Dana White have gone silent, with White saying he will not talk about “Notorious” until he is fully healed.
During UFC Denver last night (Sat., July 13, 2024), McGregor replied to Chandler on Twitter and said he has a new date for their fight.
“I talked to Dana today about our new date, all looking good! 24’ for sure,” McGregor wrote.

McGregor has tweeted many things that have not come true over the years, but it feels like this one could be true. If it is, hopefully, some official news will come out sooner rather than later.
Chandler seems to believe the fight will occur in September. Could it possibly be in the sphere?
Nevertheless, if McGregor is telling the truth – everyone will see his return this year.
