JAKARTA - UFC fighter Conor McGregor poses a terrible threat to his potential opponent, Michael Chandler. He said he would leave his "neckhead" during the fight.

The Irish fighter will return to the UFC by fighting Chandler before the end of the year. This will be his first fight since his leg broke in July 2021.

McGregor has a titanium rod placed in his left foot a few days after the fight. Now he's fully recovered. The former heavyweight second-class champion can't wait to get ready to fight Chandler.

"I'm going to kick this guy in the head. He's only made specifically to be kicked in all positions," McGregor said on the UFC YouTube channel.

"And that's what I'm aiming for, I aim to wrap this steel rod around the opponent. And you see a hanging leg visual, and then you'll see a hanging head visual."

However, before returning to the octagon, McGregor had to undergo a U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) test first. He had to be declared clean for six months.

UFC President Dana White also confirmed McGregor will pass the USADA testing and the date of the Chandler fight will be revealed.

"There was a fight. He had to go into the USADA first. He was filling in the documents," White said.

"I don't know how fast it will be or what happens, but that's the deal, which he handles with USADA. Hopefully, we have a big fight at Madison Square Garden in November, and then a big fight in December," he continued.
