Michael Chandler hints at an imminent announcement for the Conor McGregor fight

‘Iron’ recently shared a post on X (formerly Twitter), mentioning that he has an important day in Bristol, Connecticut. Moreover, he is going to be there at the ESPN headquarters.

“Headed to Bristol, CT now. Big day at [ESPN] HQ tomorrow- a few shows to talk about [TUF 31] and the fight between Conor and I,” said Michael Chandler.

Seeing that he mentioned the McGregor fight, a fan took the opportunity to ask him if the announcement for the fight was coming soon.

‘The Notorious’ to fight Chandler in December?
