UFC superstar Conor McGregor recently suggested that his much-anticipated return could take place on the upcoming historic UFC 300 card. His likeliest potential opponent, Michael Chandler, responded and stated his willingness to partake in a matchup on the blockbuster pay-per-view.

McGregor took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to suggest that he is the final piece of the puzzle to take the UFC’s 300th numbered event. He wrote:

“McGregor on 300 seals the deal.”

The two fighters were slated to fight last year in the finale of The Ultimate Fighter’s latest season after coaching opposing teams. However, their matchup did not receive an official date, nor was it officially booked, and therefore it never materialized.

McGregor has not been in action since 2021 following two back-to-back losses to former interim champion Dustin Poirier. Meanwhile, Chandler also did not feature in the entirety of last year, and his last appearance was in November 2022, also a loss to Poirier at UFC 281.
