Conor McGregor is set to return to UFC action against Michael Chandler, but heavyweight Tom Aspinall has shown disinterest in the contest.

In response, McGregor has threatened to kill Aspinall after the UFC heavyweight criticised his comeback fight.

McGregor announced his return will take place against Michael Chandler this year as part of the UFC's latest series of The Ultimate Fighter.

Aspinall refused to become hyped by the superstar's return and is instead more intrigued by UFC London.

McGregor issued a heated response on social media, calling Aspinall a "disrespectful p***k" and a "mush potato head."

McGregor's form has suffered a significant decline since 2018 where he has won just one of his last four UFC outings.

It is unclear whether the fight will be held at 170lb after Chandler agreed to make the switch having seen McGregor pile on the pounds in his time away from cage.

Chandler is excited to become absorbed by the hype of his rival's return and wants to experience a Vegas fight week.

He wasn't going to trash-talk McGregor by poking the bear, he said, as the Irishman doesn't need to fight anybody that calls him a name.

Khabib Nurmagomedov Reveals Justin Gaethje Hit Him Hardest In UFC Career

Photo: Khabib Nurmagomedov / Instagram Khabib Nurmagomedov , one of the greatest fighters in UFC history, has faced many tough opponents. But when it comes to punching power, he says no one hit harder than Justin Gaethje . The two fought at UFC 254 on October 24, 2020. It was Khabib’s last fight before retiring. During the bout, Gaethje landed heavy punches and kicks that Khabib admitted were painful. “He hit like a truck,” Khabib said on Mike Tyson ’s Hotboxin' podcast. “His left hook, right hook, uppercut—they all hurt.

My plan was to tire him out by standing with him, then take him to the ground and finish the fight.” Photo: Khabib Nurmagomedov / Instagram Khabib ended the fight with a triangle choke submission. He explained he chose the move out of respect for Gaethje’s parents, who were watching. “I didn’t want to break his arm in front of his parents,” Khabib said. “So I put him to sleep instead. That’s better.” D...
