Conor McGregor has announced that he is to return to the Octagon in February of next year.
‘The Notorious’ hasn’t fought since 2021 when he suffered a leg break against Dustin Poirier in their trilogy fight.
He was scheduled to face Michael Chandler earlier in the year but had to pull out of the fight due to a broken toe.
Chandler has finally given up on the fight and will now rematch Charles Oliveira.
This left the Irishman without an opponent for his return but now it looks like he has finally got a fight date and has said his return will be against Dan Hooker on February 1st in Saudi Arabia.
Conor McGregor just said he’s fighting Dan Hooker on February 1st in Saudi Arabia 😳
