Conor McGregor is saying all the right things to Michael Chandler in regards to the UFC re-booking their matchup. Whether or not it’s true is another story.

McGregor’s long-awaited return to action after nearly three years on the shelf was set for the main event of UFC 303 this past June. An injury forced McGregor out of the fight, which has led to numerous questions about the futures of both fighters as 2024 progresses into its second half.

On Saturday, McGregor sent Chandler some positive news in regards to their matchup, saying he had a conversation with UFC CEO Dana White and that it will definitely happen before the year is over.

“I talked to Dana today about our new date, all looking good,” McGregor told Chandler on Twitter. “[2024] for sure.”

Chandler, as expected, is satisfied with this update.

Chandler has been on the sidelines for quite some time himself, as his next fight will be his first since being submitted by Dustin Poirier at UFC 281 in November 2022.
