As for McGregor, the former undisputed lightweight champion and featherweight titleholder, has been sidelined since he fractured his left tibia and fibula in an opening round doctor’s stoppage TKO loss to the aforenoted, Poirier at UFC 264.
And confirming at the turn of this year how he’s planning a June 29. return at UFC 302 in the summer, McGregor claimed he would be fighting Chandler in his return to the Octagon – in a middleweight divisional bow for the pair.

I want battlegrounds of epic proportions, I want to stand in the cage with that man, I want to break that man’s will, I want to break his jaw.
