Former two-division UFC champion Conor McGregor says he’s fighting Michael Chandler in December and then listed two opponents after that.
McGregor was in attendance for Anthony Joshua’s boxing match against Robert Helenius on Saturday at O2 Arena in London on Saturday. After Joshua’s seventh-round knockout win, McGregor entered the ring to give Joshua a sip of his stout beer. During the event, McGregor answered questions about his future.
“December,” McGregor answered when asked by talkSPORT. “Chandler. I have to. I have to,” he said when asked who he was fighting.
“Chandler next, December, and then Gaethje, BMF, and then we’ll do Nate [Diaz] trilogy,” he said.
McGregor hasn’t fought since July 2021 when he broke his leg in a trilogy bout with Dustin Poirier. He hasn’t entered the USADA testing pool, so something would have to be worked out with the anti-doping agency. A fighter must be in the testing pool for six months before fighting.
