McGregor is all set to fight Michael Chandler in his comeback fight after the pair showed their willingness to compete.

The fight has received no official date from the UFC, and fans are waiting desperately for the announcement. However, a recent Instagram story by Conor McGregor might just hint at something else. Let us inspect what ‘Mystic Mac’ shared with his audience this time.

Conor McGregor confirms his testing in his latest story

Conor McGregor is without a doubt one of the most tested athletes in the UFC at the moment. He has already submitted to five tests this year, which makes him the most tested on the roster. Despite getting tested on numerous occasions, he is yet to face any serious allegations to date. He recently took to his Instagram and shared a story with a caption which read, “Got tested again Yesterday. All good in the hood.”

The story comes in after Michael Chandler’s official stamp on the rumored fight. Talking about the fight, Chandler said, “I’ve got the official announcement… It’s happening this summer. I can’t tell you the actual date, but it’s happening this summer, yes. Me vs. Conor. Obviously, this has been a year in the making. We did The Ultimate Fighter, he’s been off obviously doing the Road House movie and all his other aspirations and accolades outside of the cage, so here we are, this summer, I’m ready.”

It might seem that the fight is just round the corner, but the former champion did go through some mental challenges during this period.

Conor McGregor opened up about his struggles in a recent interview

It was the year 2021 when ‘Mystic Mac’ was last seen inside the Octagon. In his last fight, the former two-division champion injured his leg in the most unusual fashion. His injury forced him to stay out of action for a considerable period. However, McGregor has now returned to full fitness and is raring to go. ‘The Notorious’ one always felt that he would be making a comeback much sooner than expected. However, he struggled to get a date despite being fit. In a recent interview with The Mac Life, he shared his own set of struggles during this period. 

He said, “I was hoping for a December date, then a January date, then it keeps getting pushed back, then I lose interest and stop training for a while. Not stop training, I’m always training, but stop full training and (start) drinking a little bit.” However, he did promise that he would turn up for his testing and will be ready before his fight. Now, with testing out of the way, the fans are waiting for the official announcement of the fight. When do you think will the fight take place? Let us know in the comments below.
