Conor McGregor was supposed to clash against Michael Chandler back in UFC 303, however, he pulled out of the clash citing a toe injury. The PPV card saw several changes and in the end, Alex Pereira and Jiri Prochazka jumped to the rescue. Regardless, fans were eager for an update but the UFC supremo at the post-fight press conference emphasized that he would not talk about McGregor’s return, until of course he gets the green light that Mac is up and about. Yet, it appears that McGregor might have changed the UFC supremo’s mind.

The former dual weight champion has been training day and night for a possible return but there’s been no announcement from either of the stakeholders of the promotion. So are there any backdoor talks between them? Well, let us find out.
