Javier Mendez’s warning and advice to Michael Chandler ahead of potential Conor McGregor showdown

Javier Mendez recently offered his insights on the McGregor-Chandler bout in an interview with ‘Lordping.’ As the MMA world eagerly awaits the official announcement of the McGregor vs. Chandler showdown, Mendez’s wisdom holds valuable advice for Chandler as he prepares to step into the cage against one of the sport’s biggest stars.

Mendez made his prediction about the clash, stating, “I favor Conor[McGregor] only because [Michael] Chandler likes to entertain. And he’s going to stand more than he should. If Chandler fought the way he could fight, I’d go with Chandler, but Chandler is such a great entertainer, he’s going to give Conor what he wants—more stand-up than he should.”

Furthermore, Mendez offered advice to Chandler, emphasizing the need to resist Conor’s verbal provocations. Mendez stressed that McGregor excels at psychological warfare, a lesson he learned when preparing Khabib for his fight against McGregor. According to Mendez, Chandler should adopt a Khabib-style approach—shooting for takedowns, never letting McGregor settle, and keeping him uncomfortable on his feet.

As the MMA world braces for what could be a scintillating showdown, the stage is set. The spotlight shines brightly on TUF S31 rivals Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler.
