UFC President announced the exact date of Conor McGregor's return to the Octagon

In the nocturnal hours of Las Vegas, USA, the jubilant UFC 300 tournament unfolded. This spectacle not only provided a platform for captivating encounters but also served as an opportunity for resounding proclamations. Seizing this moment, UFC President Dana White made significant announcements.

Following the tournament, White declared that the preeminent luminary of the organization, the Irishman Conor McGregor, would return to the octagon on the 29th of June at UFC 303. He is slated to face off against Michael Chandler. The entirety of this showcase will transpire in Las Vegas.

McGregor has been absent from the fray since fracturing his leg during a bout with Dustin Poirier in 2021. White himself has repeatedly suggested that the Irishman may never return to mixed martial arts, positing that McGregor's fortune of £200 million may suffice as grounds for relinquishing this sport.

In addition to the heralded McGregor bout, White also divulged the date of the clash between Dustin Poirier and Islam Makhachev. These athletes will enter the octagon prior to McGregor, precisely on the 1st of June at UFC 302. The headline event of this tournament will feature Sean Strickland against Paulo Costa.
