McGregor then moved up weight classes to deliver the iconic rivalry with Nate Diaz. After avenging his first UFC loss, the Irishman beat Eddie Alvarez to become the first double champ in UFC history.

“The Notorious” has lost three out of his last four UFC fights, though. With fans eager to see him back in the win column, here’s everything about when McGregor might fight again.

When will Conor McGregor return to the UFC?

While taking part in an event on July 18, 2024, McGregor responded positively to a reporter asking whether he’ll return to the UFC on December 14, 2024.

“That sounds good to me!”

For now, the official UFC schedule for 2024 is only updated up until UFC 308, which will take place in Abu Dhabi on October 26, 2024. However, there are speculations that December 14, 2024, is the scheduled date for UFC 310.

Ariel Helwani also suggested that the UFC might book McGregor vs. Chandler for UFC 310 in December. In an interview with ESPN MMA, the former UFC double champ himself admitted his return to be scheduled for the end of 2024.

So, for now, “Mystic Mac” is most likely to return to the UFC on December 14, 2024 at UFC 310.

Who is Conor McGregor’s next fight?

Michael Chandler is most likely to be McGregor’s next fight in the UFC. The lightweights coached the TUF Season 31 and were scheduled to fight at UFC 303.

Their fight was indefinitely postponed due to Conor McGregor and the UFC not being able to agree on a return date. While replacements were considered and offered to Chandler, he seems adamant about fighting “The Notorious”.

Why was McGregor vs. Chandler cancelled at UFC 303?

McGregor vs. Chandler was cancelled because the former had to pull out due to an injured toe. The injury wasn’t severe and McGregor even claimed to have fully recovered from it through a now-deleted X post.

The UFC appears to have a stacked schedule until UFC 308 in October 2024. This has stopped them from instantly re-booking the highly-anticipated matchup. As a result, fans should not expect “Mystic Mac” and “Iron” to battle it out anytime before the end of the year.

Daniel Cormier claims Michael Chandler ‘Has to be respected’ for his run in the UFC since 2021 move

Daniel Cormier believes MMA fans need to respect Michael Chandler for what he has accomplished in his career.

Fans have criticized Chandler for holding out for the fight with McGregor which many never come to fruition. Dustin Poirier also recently took aim at Chandler saying he isn’t a UFC fighter like he is, which Cormier disagrees with.

“You can tell that Dustin Poirier takes offense to Michael Chandler almost putting himself on the same level as him and all the guys that have been around the UFC for as long as he has,” Cormier said on his YouTube channel. “He doesn’t like that. It’s almost territorial in a sense that he’s going, ‘We’ve done this for a long time. You can’t come in here with four fights and say we.’

“It almost seems perfect when it comes to Chandler, but at the end of the day, Michael Chandler and the work he put on paper in a short period of time has to be respected. For a guy like Dustin Poirier who goes, ‘From 2011, ‘16, ‘17, ‘18, I was scratching and clawing, really trying to make my way.’ I can get how he would have frustration for a guy who did it so fast but at the end of the day should still be respected,” he concluded.

As Cormier says, Chandler has paid his dues outside of the UFC as he is the former Bellator lightweight champion and has fought and beaten plenty of notable names.
