Conor McGregor comeback show almost complete with UFC legend and undefeated prospect on nine-fight undercard

Conor McGregor’s return to MMA is going to be massive.

‘Notorious’ hasn’t fought since breaking his leg in a trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 three years ago, but he’s still the biggest star in the sport.

The former dual-weight champion will make his comeback in a welterweight bout against Michael Chandler at UFC 303 in Las Vegas on June 29.

Dana White recently revealed that McGregor’s fight with Chandler has already earned his promotion over $20million in ticket sales and broke the UFC gate record.

MMA fans would happily watch the Irishman compete on a card full of novice fighters, but White is building a stacked night of action for his latest show the T-Mobile Arena.

So far, nine fights have been announced for the McGregor vs Chandler undercard.

The biggest is between former light heavyweight champion Jamahal Hill, who recently got knocked out by Alex Pereira, and streaking contender Khalil Rountree Jr.

Former UFC heavyweight king Andre Arlovski is also on the card and will compete in his 60th professional MMA fight when he takes on 13-2 Slovakian Martin Bunday.

Payton Talbott is on the opposite end of the spectrum to Arlovski as his career is just getting started, but there’s already a ton of buzz around the 8-0 prospect ahead of his fight with Yanis Ghemmouri.

Realistically, there are only a few spots left on McGregor’s comeback card.

Welterweight contender Ian Garry is sure he’ll be filling one of them.

McGregor’s compatriot has been trying to arrange a scrap with Colby Covington, but for some reason that fight has failed to come to fruition.

‘The Future’ is now hoping to face Michael ‘Venom’ Page next month.

“I’ve said yes [to a fight with Page],” Garry told talkSPORT MMA.

“I’ve said yes to that name, him and his coaches are deciding because he seems a bit heavy to make weight in seven weeks’ time, but I’ve said yes,” Garry revealed.

“To fight and compete on the same night as [McGregor], watch him go out and do his thing, hear his walkout, sit side by side with him at the press conference, and just be grateful to be in the presence of the greatest to ever do it in the UFC.

“It would be a feather in the cap for sure.”
