The buzz is real: McGregor’s making a comeback. He’s set to face Michael Chandler at UFC 303, lighting up the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on June 29. Dana White’s betting big on this one, expecting record-breaking crowds all thanks to McGregor’s unmatched star power. McGregor, the pride of SBG Ireland, has had his share of glory days, holding the featherweight and lightweight titles. But, it’s been a rough patch with back-to-back losses for him, especially after that leg injury against Dustin Poirier in 2021. Chandler’s no stranger to tough times either, facing his own set of challenges in recent fights.
