McGregor wanted to fight for the title

Irish mixed style fighter (MMA) Conor McGregor announced his plans: the athlete intends to fight for the title after his return to the octagon. He wrote about this in Twitter.

The 33-year-old Irishman wants to resume his performances in the Absolute Fighting Championship (UFC), and the first fight after his return to hold with the champion of the organization in lightweight. McGregor admits that by that time Charles Oliveira will no longer have the belt. At the same time, McGregor stressed that he was not worried about his confrontation with Dustin Poirier.

American Michael Chandler, a former Bellator champion who had already fought in a title fight in the UFC, expressed his willingness to fight against McGregor. The Irishman himself expressed interest in Chandler’s proposal. Also, Max Holloway, a former UFC featherweight champion, spoke about his intention to fight McGregor.

McGregor continues to recover from an injury sustained in a fight with Poirier in the summer. He was defeated in the third fight between the athletes, having suffered a broken leg at the end of the first round.

McGregor is a former UFC champion in two weight divisions.
