Conor McGregor reveals announcement date for his next fight

UFC star Conor McGregor has revealed that he will make an announcement regarding his next fight on New Year’s Day.

For the longest time now, fight fans have been waiting for some kind of announcement regarding the return of the Irishman. It’s been well over two years since we’ve seen him in the Octagon, with many believing 2023 would be the year that he made his comeback.

Alas, for whatever reason, he’s been inactive. The expectation is that when he does return, he’ll battle Michael Chandler, the man he coached against during The Ultimate Fighter.

McGregor’s big reveal

“The Greatest Comeback in Sports History.”

We all know that Conor McGregor can talk a big game. The big question is whether or not he can back it up, especially at the age of 35. It’s been almost four years since he won a fight in mixed martial arts and since then, he’s also suffered two losses to Dustin Poirier.

He clearly believes that he has something left in the tank to offer the fans. If he’s right, then we could be in for one hell of a year in 2024, and potentially beyond.
