Who is Conor McGregor’s Next Fight Against?

After three years away from the sport and months of speculation, McGregor is expected to return to action this year. He took to his social media accounts and claimed he would return to headline a card against Michael Chandler — the man he has been booked to face for the last year — in July and at middleweight.

However, since posting that message that return date seems less likely. Now, it is expected to (hopefully) happen in the fall after UFC boss Dana White said he was targeting a fight date later this year.

NY Mets Sweep Pittsburgh Pirates

The Mets pitching was again solid which started with Luis Severino. He gave up one run in six innings and the bullpen handled the rest.

“We mixed some two-seamers in there to get some double plays and I think that helped,” Severino said.

For Severino, who lowered his ERA to 2.14, it was a third straight start of allowing one earned run or less. On this day he got the win — his first in a Mets uniform.
