"December. (Against)Michael chandler, I need to do this. I just have to grab him by the chest and slap him. That's what I have to do. Chandler in December and then against Justin gaethje for the BMF belt and then we will do the trilogy against Nate diaz”, said McGregor in an interview with 'TalkSport' before the fight with boxer Anthony Joshua.

Absent from the octagon since July 2021, when he suffered a serious injury in the trilogy against Dustin poirier, Conor continues with his irregular status with USADA (National Anti-Doping Agency). To be able to return to the UFC, the Irishman needs to undergo at least six months of tests and prove that he is clean.

Former UFC featherweight (up to 65,9kg) and lightweight (up to 70,3kg) champion, Conor is not having a good time in the Octagon and before his sad injury he had suffered three defeats in his last four fights. The Irishman has an MMA record of 22 wins and six setbacks.
