JAKARTA - Conor McGregor has returned to intensive training for the next fight. The former two-division champion is planned to return to the octagon against Michael Chandler on June 29, 2024 in Las Vegas.

The news of McGregor's comeback has certainly been eagerly awaited by fans. The 35-year-old fighter has even made a fuss about the following fight even though the UFC has not officially announced it.

If it does, it will be McGregor's first fight since the last three years ago. The last time he took the octagon was during a losing duel against Dustin Poirier in July 2021. At that time, McGregor's leg broke.

This time he seemed enthusiastic about preparing himself. Through an upload on his personal X account, McGregor has leaked about his training.

"Gym, home, gym, home, gym, home!" wrote the Irish fighter.

McGregor is seriously preparing because he has ambitions to win his first win in four years.

This also answers the doubts of people who question their commitment to mixed martial arts (MMA). However, he received defense from the UFC bantamweight champion, Sean O'men.

"He (McGregor) looks good, uploads several videos (trains) here and there. Looks like he grapples a lot, he's very skilled. I think what distinguishes people is his mindset."

"It's about what you're doing in three months. If he's called up and focused on the existing tasks, I think he's going to show up and show off," O'villak told ESPN.

Meanwhile, Michael Chandler has not fought since the defeat to Poirier at UFC 281 in November 2022.
