Read our privacy policy Conor McGregor took to social media on New Year’s Eve to claim that he will fight Michael Chandler in a middleweight bout on 29 June. It was originally announced in February that McGregor would face Chandler at a later date in 2023, in the Irishman’s first bout since he suffered a broken leg in July 2021. On Sunday, however, the former champion seemingly confirmed that he will fight Chandler next, while claiming that the bout will take place at middleweight and in Las Vegas. And the weight, Mr Chandler: 185lbs.” McGregor previously held the UFC featherweight and lightweight titles simultaneously as the first dual-weight champion in the promotion’s history.
