Conor McGregor is widely regarded as one of the best UFC fighters of all time. The Notorious is the most followed mixed martial arts fighter, who has a record of generating the highest gates in UFC history and is the highest-paid UFC fighter of all time. 

Mystic Mac was away from the Octagon for almost three years after he sustained a severe leg injury the last time he stepped inside the Octagon. McGregor stepped inside the UFC Octagon in the year 2021 against a long-time rival for the third time at UFC 264. 

In the fight, Dustin Poirier sniped the legs of Conor McGregor, and while throwing punches, the 155-pound King snapped his leg brutally. The referee immediately stopped the fight, and Dustin was announced as the winner in round one of the fight. 

Conor McGregor is now gearing up and training hard for his Octagon return this summer; he is set to face Michael Chandler. Iron Chandler is the number eight ranked lightweight contender. He has been calling out McGregor for almost two years since he knocked out Tony Ferguson in 2022. Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler will lock horns at the UFC 303 main event at 185 pounds.
