Michael Chandler has been away for the Octagon for quite some time now. The former Bellator champ was supposed to headline the UFC 303 with Conor McGregor, however, a pinky toe injury on the part of ‘Mystic Mac’ shelved their clash. While the MMA community thinks that Chandler is wasting his prime years for McGregor, ‘Iron’ was still at the event witnessing the rescheduled matches. Amid the hubbub, the UFC star announcer had some real surprises for the gloomy Chandler. What is it you ask? Let us find out.

Michael Chandler and Conor McGregor promised that they would be at the UFC 303 for the clash but only one respected that. The former Bellator champion took to his Instagram handle to announce that he will return to UFC 303 even if McGregor doesn’t keep his word, “Still, I’m going to UFC 303, much to the surprise of the UFC and everyone behind the scene.”

The situation was kind of gloomy for Chandler as it had been a long since he entered the Octagon, however, Bruce Buffer had a surprise waiting for him. The star UFC announcer wore a custom UFC 303 Michael Chandler vs. Conor McGregor jacket reminding the former dual-weight champion about his promise to show up.
