Former two-weight UFC champion, Conor McGregor continues to tease his imminent return to the Octagon next year – claiming he will “body bag” his opponents, when standing opposite them.
McGregor, a former undisputed lightweight and featherweight champion under the banner of the UFC, has been sidelined since he featured back in July 2021, suffering a stunning opening round doctor’s stoppage TKO loss to Dustin Poirier, fracturing his left tibia and fibula in the first frame.
Yet to return to the Octagon in the time since, McGregor, 35, is expected to stand opposite former lightweight title challenger, Michael Chandler next year at the welterweight limit – with links to a feature atop a monumental UFC 300 card, likely in April.
And issuing a warning to Chandler yesterday in which he predicted he would land a twentieth professional mixed martial arts knockout win over the former Bellator MMA titleholder in his comeback to the sport.
