Conor McGregor Provides Fans an Update as He Gears Up to Take On Michael Chandler

Conor McGregor is gearing up for his UFC comeback in a fight against Michael Chandler. He recently wrapped up the shoot for the upcoming season of ‘The Ultimate Fighter’ and now looks set to begin camp. He recently shared a post regarding it on social media.

Conor McGregor met with a horrible leg injury in his last fight against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264. Following that, the Irishman went through surgery. Since then, he hasn’t fought for almost two years. But now UFC president Dana White has found him an opponent for a return fight in the form of ‘Iron’ Chandler.

Conor McGregor provides an update about his training camp

The former double champion did not waste any time during his time off. He was working to rehabilitate his leg and at the same time training to rectify the mistakes in his last two losses. Moreover, he put on a considerable amount of muscle as he approaches his return to the octagon. He recently shared a tweet about beginning his training for the next fight. He wrote: “We will commence camp in big bear shortly.” 

McGregor mentioned that he would start his training camp in California’s Big Bear Lake city. He earlier mentioned that he will be in the United States for the foreseeable future and has apparently decided to start training in the States.

McGregor’s plans after his fight against Michael Chandler

In an episode of ‘My Mom’s Basement’ podcast, Conor McGregor mentioned that he wants to develop consistency after his next fight. The former UFC champion hasn’t had the best record in his last three fights, having lost two of them. He said, “I hope for 100 fights. I hope for 100 more fights. I’m hoping for consistency. I’m working for consistency.” 

He claims that he needs to stabilize his MMA career and hopes to participate in nine consecutive fights. “I’ve been getting this on-off, on-off nonsense for too long. It’s via fight politics, it’s via injuries, via just life, it does happen. It’s God’s plan, it’s all God, so I accept and understand it, but I’m excited and I’m hopeful that I can get a nice consecutive run of bouts,” said McGregor.
