Conor McGregor backed for UFC return by rival - but not everyone in MMA agrees
Conor McGregor has been backed to return to the Octagon in 2025 by the man he was scheduled to face this year. The Dubliner was due to fight Michael Chandler back in June, but withdrew from the bout after suffering a broken toe in training. Chandler instead fought Charles Oliveira at Madison Square Garden last month, losing via unanimous decision.
