Conor McGregor Confirms Return This Year Against Michael Chandler, Takes Aim at Justin Gaethje and Nate Diaz During Anthony Joshua vs Robert Helenius

As the battle between Anthony Joshua and Robert Helenius proceeded, a wild plan by Conor McGregor had all eyes on him. Undeniably, the fans were in for the fight, but it was McGregor who commanded all the attention. The former UFC double division champion laid out his plans, as he named three fighters to go against.

Even though the Irish mixed martial artist is yet to come out clean on two USADA tests, he declared December would mark his return to UFC. Talking to talkSport, he mentioned Michael Chandler, Justin Gaethje and then Nate Diaz. The world eagerly waited for the fighter’s comeback, and with the declaration he made at UFC Vegas 78, his return seems to be imminent.

However, things didn’t end with a simple callout. When Gareth Davies asked the former champion about entering a boxing match, McGregor reignited the fire in him. He was reminded of his fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr. which did not result in a win. But McGregor took a jab at KSI, later calling him a “b**ch” who couldn’t box.
