When Is Conor McGregor’s Next Fight?

Conor McGregor is currently on a two-fight skid after back-to-back losses to Dustin Poirier in their rematch and trilogy in January 2021 and July 2021, but he is unquestionably UFC and MMA’s pay-per-view king because of his entertaining personality backed by elite skills. The former two-division UFC Featherweight and Lightweight Champion is always a top name in MMA odds and often a favorite in UFC betting.

But when will we see the Irish MMA superstar back in action? And who are the opponents linked to welcome him back in his highly-anticipated return inside the Octagon?

When is Conor McGregor’s Next Fight?

Conor McGregor is now fully recovered from the broken left fibula and tibia injury he suffered in his last fight against Dustin Poirier in July 2021, which prompted a premature end to the fight due doctor’s stoppage. UFC President Dana White has revealed that his next opponent will be Michael Chandler.

Before they face each other inside the Octagon, both McGregor and Chandler will first go head-to-head as coaches for the 31st season of The Ultimate Fighter, which begins on May 30 up until August 15, 2023. The official date and location for the said bout are still being determined.
