What seemed like it would never happen again has a serious potential, because Conor McGregor continues to take steps in the direction of a UFC co -loft.
After he broke his leg against Dustin Poirier in his last UFC fight in 2021, it seemed to be a strong opportunity that it would be the last time that Conor McGregor would board the UFC.
Despite that, his wonderful return was then announced to take place at the International Fight Week in June last year, because he was planned to finally fight Michael Chandler after their roles on the Ultimate Fighter.
But only a few weeks after the event McGregor withdrew because of a broken toe that almost seemed to guarantee that he would never return.

McGregor officially back in the test pool while he prepares for return
After years of claiming that he will make a long -awaited comeback, the conversations never seemed to come out of the rumor phase because he had not reintroduced the pool of the drug test after his withdrawal of the UFC 303.
But then the US President Donald Trump announced that the UFC will hold a mega event in the White House in July, which led to McGregor again claiming that he is returning to action.
He thereby claimed that he had officially re-introduced the drug test pool when he posted images online that he gave blood and urine monsters on board his mega yacht.
And only a week later the claims of McGregor have been proven where, according to the UFC-Anti-Doping database, he has officially registered a test session while he prepares for his return to the sport after more than six years away.
Who will make McGregor his UFC -Comeback?
Recently UFC boss Dana White revealed that he should meet 'the Notorious' in Italy to talk about his potential return and to iron the details.
The former UFC Double Champion never has a shortage of fighters who want to fight against him, not only because of the payment day that goes with it, but because of the fact that millions of eyeballs will probably be glued to his return.
At the moment it seems likely that ALS and when the Irishman will return to action, he will give 'Iron' Chandler the battle for years.
