According to the Irishman’s manager, Audie Attar, McGregor and his team are actively working to secure a spot on the UFC 300 card. During a recent interview with MMA Junkie, Attar said:

“If it was up to him [Conor McGregor], he’d be fighting Saturday, so ultimately, we’re just trying to make sure we’re doing everything right and following all the standard operating procedures to get him back in the octagon as soon as possible. UFC 300 would be amazing, and obviously, we’re pushing as hard as we can to make that happen. Ultimately, it’s going to be an exciting 2024 for his return.”

He also disclosed whether ‘The Notorious’ would still be facing Chandler:

“Look, I think that’s the likeliest opponent. They just did The Ultimate Fighter together, and I think the fans want to see that fight, but there are other opponents as well. At the end of the day, the UFC is still keen on Michael Chandler and unless something changes there, I certainly think that’s who’s going to be.”
