The Irishman has not competed in the Octagon since his leg injury against Dustin Poirier in 2021.
He was scheduled to face Michael Chandler at UFC 303 but withdrew due to injury.
"It's a clear path, I am next in line," Chandler told the Daily Mail. "You can't do a season of The Ultimate Fighter and not fight."
