“What’s up fight fans? I’m back in the octagon June 29th versus Carlos Hernandez. UFC 303, Michael Chandler versus the ‘Notorious’ Conor McGregor. Let’s go baby,” Durden said in the video.
Although there hasn’t been an official announcement, the former two-division UFC champion recently revealed that he will be returning to the octagon at UFC 303 this summer in an interview with ESPN.
“We got confirmation a few days ago that it’s all systems go,” McGregor told ESPN last week. “‘The Mac,’ ‘The Notorious’ will be returning to the UFC Octagon this summer.”
