Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler

Iron’ Michael Chandler has been waiting a long time for his fight against McGregor. The two lightweights coached TUF against each other years ago, but a matchup could never be set up. The Irish fighter pulled out of the booked bout due to a toe injury, but was never rebooked.

Chandler is tired of waiting for Conor McGregor’s next fight, and in a recent interview he said:

“And I think I put it away. It was the second round, but at this point, with everything built up, I think I’ll finish him in the first round… I’m an optimist by default, so I think the Conor fight will happen. Right now, we’re in a time where things are being talked about.

“what date Is it Conor? Is he headed for another fight? Is making the best decision for me and my family? I love the idea that me and Conor did The Ultimate Fighter, we had a training camp, we signed on the dotted line. But as much as I respect Conor, my legacy doesn’t depend on this fight.”

Former Bellator World Champion Michael Chandler signed with the UFC and has been an exciting staple of the lightweight division ever since. McGregor made history as a two-division UFC champion, winning two world titles, both by knockout. The Irish star may be best known for his rivalry with Khabib Nurmagomedov and boxing fight with Floyd Mayweather. McGregor hasn’t been active in the Octagon since 2021. But it looks like Conor McGregor’s Next Fight news could be coming soon.
