Leave the “Foggy Dew,” Conor McGregor is back.
During a brief but attractive promotion during the UFC 301 broadcast, the promotion released its first official video package for UFC 303June 29 pay-per-view event headlined by McGregor (22-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC) vs. michael chandler (23-8 MMA, 2-3 UFC). The event takes place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Video released on Saturday showed McGregor pacing back and forth under a dim green light that highlighted his outline but kept his features in shadow. McGregor then performed his signature double-hand kiss, as he does during pre-fight introductions.
The 24-second teaser was the first official promotional video the pay-per-view has received since Dana White Announcement April 13, after the conclusion of the UFC 300.
McGregor, 35, returns from a nearly three-year layoff after breaking a leg in his trilogy fight against Dustin Poirier and then venturing into Hollywood with his co-starring role opposite Jake Gyllenhaal in “Road house.”
Chandler, 38, sat out while waiting for McGregor to return. Most recently, he competed in a November 2022 loss to Poirier, then coached on “The Ultimate Fighter 31” alongside McGregor in 2023.
