Michael Chandler on his fight against Conor McGregor
Recently, on The MMA Hour, Michael Chandler spoke about the McGregor fight and revealed when it could most likely happen. “The status is, unequivocally, the fight is still happening,” Chandler said, as quoted by mmafighting.com.
“The fight is not booked for a date, the fight is not booked for a venue, but the fight is booked between Chandler and Conor. There’s no way Conor comes back and doesn’t fight me. If Conor doesn’t fight me, he’s probably just not coming back, and that’s out of my control.
He’s coming back, he’s fighting me.At this point, by deductive reasoning, by process of elimination, there’s a main event in December, there’s a main event in November, we’re not going to not be a main event, so that pushes it into 2024.
Chandler on when the fight could happen: “At this point, by deductive reasoning, by process of elimination, there’s a main event in December, there’s a main event in November, we’re not going to not be a main event, so that pushes it into 2024.
My heart of hearts, my gut says we might be waiting until UFC 300. Good thing I’ve got a lot of things to keep my busy, and I get an opportunity to train for Conor for a very long time”.
