CONOR McGREGOR has been sent a blunt warning about his UFC return fight against Michael Chandler. <\/p>\n

The Irishman has not fought since July 2021 when he broke his leg against Dustin Poirier. <\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

But he is due to face Chandler, 37, in his anticipated comeback bout despite no date yet being revealed.<\/p>\n

And with over two years out of the octagon, UFC lightweight Rafael Fiziev claimed McGregor is past his best. <\/p>\n

Fiziev, 30, told MMA Fighting: \u201cMichael and I have the same problem, because he also has to control his emotions in the fight. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe has to control it. I think if he starts to control emotions, following the game plan only, he\u2019ll beat Conor, because Conor, he lost the focus. <\/p>\n

"He\u2019s not the Conor from six years ago, five years ago. It\u2019s not [the same] Conor.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe just has to stay smart, have to stay calm, and I think Michael can win this fight easily just because [Conor] lost the focus. <\/p>\n

"I think if he [gets out of] one round, after, [Chandler will win]. It\u2019s a very interesting fight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following McGregor's absence from the octagon, he is currently out of the UFC's all year round United States Anti-Doping Agency testing.<\/p>\n

To return, he must complete six months of USADA tests unless he is given a special exemption.<\/p>\n

So it remains unclear on whether McGregor, 35, will be free to fight without returning the mandatory testing.<\/p>\n

But Fiziev questioned why the former two-division champion has not yet been tested by USADA. <\/p>\n

He said: \u201cIt\u2019s still this crazy situation because, How is USADA not testing him? He\u2019s lightweight fighter and you don\u2019t test him. <\/p>\n

"It\u2019s crazy why he can\u2019t do it like that but everybody [else] can, but it doesn\u2019t matter. It doesn\u2019t matter. <\/p>\n

"But I think he deserves all this s*** around him, because he\u2019s a superstar, man. If you or me [become a star] like him, I think we can we can do the bull**** the same.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s superstar level, that\u2019s why he\u2019s doing this bull****. But I don\u2019t say if I [become] the superstar, I [would do] the same, because I like [there] to be justice. <\/p>\n

"I don\u2019t want to say [it\u2019s] not justice [with McGregor], but yeah, he does it because he\u2019s a superstar.\u201d<\/p>\n
