The welterweight bout between Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler, previously canceled due to injury to the Irish fighter, may be rescheduled for August or September. Journalist Ariel Helwani reported that.

The consensus seems to be that they want to announce it all + the new date for McGregor x Chandler. August or September has been discussed, and that would likely mean creating new PPV dates those months (8/31 and 9/28) have been discussed. That part - which is massive in all this - hasn't been finalized.
McGregor, 35, last stepped into the octagon in July 2021 at UFC 264, losing to Dustin Poirier by TKO in the first round. He has 22 wins and six losses on his record.
Chandler, 38, last fought in November 2022 at UFC 281, losing to Dustin Poirier by third-round choke. He has 23 wins and eight losses on his record.
