Conor McGregor's return has been a long time coming for fight fans. The man known as ‘Notorious' last stepped foot in the cage on July 10, 2021 against arch-rival Dustin Poirier, which ended in a TKO loss due to a leg injury.

McGregor hasn't won a fight since January 18, 2020 against Donald Cerrone, and was recently called out by boxer, promoter, and aspiring MMA fighter Jake Paul. Paul lashed out at McGregor for calling him a derogatory term.

Now, McGregor is finally speaking out about his return to the fight game in a series of tweets referencing his future plans. According to the Irishman, he is willing to “fight anyone” but appears to be eyeing an opponent in the UFC instead of Jake Paul.

McGregor was asked by a fan if he still plans on facing lightweight contender Michael Chandler upon his return, or perhaps someone else.

Paul previously dissed Conor McGregor, saying that he is “his own boss” and calling McGregor UFC President Dana White's “son.”

McGregor had a ‘promise' for fans along with footage of his latest workout, as well as a post that seemed to be a direct response to Paul's comments.

His previously discussed, possible future opponent Chandler hasn't fought since November 2022, when he was submitted via rear naked choke by Poirier. Chandler has now lost three of his last four fights, which could be at least part of the reason why Conor McGregor appears to be eyeing other fighters as possible opponents.
