“If the [McGregor vs Chandler] date came back and was confirmed for September, we're already in heavy training, although we're training remotely together at the moment," he told Lucky Block. "He's stateside on I believe a Forged Irish Stout tour. He's visiting a couple of breweries over there but we're still sending each other training videos and training plans. He's got some training partners over there and in the footage I'm getting back, he's looking very sharp to me. If the date was now or in December, it would be a green light for me anyway.”

McGregor was initially scheduled to fight Michael Chandler on June 29 but a toe injury forced the fight off the card. Since then McGregor has insisted on a December date but UFC CEO Dana White says the fight won't be rebooked until 2025.
