Conor McGregor is inching closer to making his highly anticipated return to the octagon after nearly three years of inactivity.

Confirming his intention to compete this summer, McGregor revealed that negotiations have progressed, and his return fight is set to take place against Michael Chandler:
"We got confirmation a few days ago that it's all systems go and 'The Mac', 'The Notorious' will be returning in the UFC octagon this summer... It's Chandler. I've got to f**king shut up Michael, the f**king imbecile, the blade doesn't shut up... I like Michael. I'm going to bust him up... I was having a bit of a laugh with the 185 [pounds]. I haven't checked the scales since the last time I weighed in at a UFC event, which was a fair bit of time ago."
