‘Mystic Mac’ is busy promoting his upcoming Hollywood project ‘Road House’. However, fans are more interested in knowing about his return to the Octagon.

The former two-division champion then revealed, “Main thing is, I’ve got great news, I got the call, everything, it’s all a go.” Now with Chandler confirming it seems the wait is over. However, the mind games have already begun and Conor McGregor has predicted the result of his next fight.

The verbal battle started after ‘Iron’ made an appearance on WWE RAW and called out ‘The Notorious’ one. He even claimed to have some unfinished business with him. McGregor took the time to answer to that in a recent interview with Marc Raimondi. He said, “Now, look see this, its Chandler, you got to shut up Michael you f**kin imbecile. The man doesn’t shut up. I seen him on Raw and all. I like Mike. I’m gonna bust him up. I’m gonna bust Mike up. If I say it, I do it. If I say it, it gets done, end of.”
