Conor McGregor is making his return to UFC.

The legendary fighter, who hasn't fought since July 2021, will return to the ring at UFC 303 in June, where he will take on Michael Chandler. Ahead of the fight, ESPN released a promo hyping up his comeback.

THE RETURN ⏳ <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/UFC303?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#UFC303</a> <a href="https://t.co/RJQz3X8e5F">pic.twitter.com/RJQz3X8e5F</a>

In McGregor's last UFC fight, he took on Dustin Poirier at UFC 264—a bout that ended in a technical knockout for McGregor after a ringside doctor ended the fight. McGregor suffered a broken tibia in the loss.

Since the fight, McGregor hasn't stepped into the ring, but is gearing up for what should be an exciting return. In the meantime, McGregor has been shooting his new movie Road House, while also promoting his businesses.

His opponent, Chandler, last fought in November 2022 at UFC 281, when he lost to Poirier. After losing his last matchup, Chandler will be looking to bounce back in what will likely be a tough fight.

UFC 303 is set to take place on June 29 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas with McGregor vs. Chandler being the non-title main event.
