Conor McGregor’s comeback is anticipated for next year, yet the UFC has not reached a decision on the matter. Despite the fighter’s expressed eagerness to make a return, there are significant doubts lingering over his bout against Michael Chandler. Initially, the fight was supposed to happen at the end of TUF 31 but it could not be materialized due to problems with USADA.
