“I am very grateful to be about to return and get to do what I love again,” McGregor told The MacLife. “I look forward to the fresh test Dustin will bring since our first bout, while also showcasing my own incredibly deep cache of weaponry. Whatever tool is needed on the night will be pulled from the duffel.
