Fellow UFC Double Champion Doubts Conor McGregor of Rejecting Michael Chandler After Prominent Social Move- “Dismissing Someone”

Conor McGregor fighting Michael Chandler becomes more and more of a myth with every shot that’s exchanged. Now, UFC legends and veterans are theorizing that the match is in fact, not happening. What is the proof? It’s all a bit of speculation at the moment but it certainly can’t be ignored.

McGregor recently joked about Brazilian fighter Renato Moicano fighting Chandler at UFC 300 instead of himself. Meanwhile, it would appear that Chandler is slowly taking the trash talk seriously. Here’s what Daniel Cormier had to say about the whole ordeal.

Daniel Cormier thinks Conor McGregor will duck Chandler

Conor McGregor fighting Chandler seems to be old news now or better even just a rumour. With every opportunity he can get, McGregor ensures the world of one thing and one thing only- he doesn’t want to fight Chandler. He’d much rather challenge Manny Pacquiao instead.

He’d much rather give the fight away to Moicano instead of facing ‘Iron’ Michael Chandler inside the cage. Chael Sonnen has already shown his concern about the fight and now, ‘DC’ joins the same party. Here’s what he said about the whole situation recently.

“Latest thing now is McGregor makes an Instagram story. . .”  said Cormier. “It was a story where it was like some guy just dismissing someone and it said when Conor decides he wants to fight someone other than Michael Chandler. . . “

“And it was like him just dismissing Mike you go that where I have no more business for you. Michael Chandler then responds saying it’s a bad look on everyone if Conor McGregor Ducks him.” However, it would seem McGregor is the least worried about it being a bad look. Even Chandler’s callouts seem to have no effect now. Here’s one of his latest tweets.

Michael Chandler wants McGregor to own up to his word

Chandler has been waiting for the fight to happen for a little while now. In order to face the former champion, Chandler has worked and worked on his psyche and technique. So it would only be a massive disappointment if he doesn’t get to show it to the world.

He recently took to his X account to accuse him of fooling the fandom by announcing “the greatest comeback” and not actually going through with it. On the other hand, ‘The Notorious’ is all playful attending boxing events next to the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo. Perhaps he really has made up his mind about not fighting Chandler. So it would be interesting to see what transpires and who gets the UFC 300 main card in the end!
