Conor McGregor's return to the octagon will come against Michael Chandler later this year. A date for the bout has not been announced, however, as the former double champ reportedly remains out of the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) testing pool.
'The Notorious' recently shared a video of his mother on Twitter that led fans to speculate that cocaine usage may be a cause for this.

Conor McGregor's return: 'The Notorious' shares plans for Michael Chandler bout
Conor McGregor will face Michael Chandler in his highly-anticipated return to the octagon. While the bout is without a date, 'The Notorious' revealed his plans while speaking with Megan Olivi, stating:
"I'm going to kick this guy in the head. He's just tailor-made for being kicked all over the place and that's what I'm aiming for. I'm aiming to wrap this steel bar around the opponent and you're going to see a visual of the leg hanging off and then you're going to see a visual of a head hanging off. I'm excited for that and I'm motivated for that. Steady making my way towards it."
