“He’s Gonna Ask Those Questions”: UFC Legend Expresses Concern Over Conor McGregor’s UFC Return Against Michael Chandler

Conor McGregor has been busy with many things, except for fighting in the UFC. It has been almost two years since he fought inside the octagon. However, UFC president Dana White announced that McGregor will take on Michael Chandler in his comeback fight. But we have not received any update on that front. UFC legend and critic Chael Sonnen believes that ‘Iron’ Chandler will soon start to get doubtful about the match even taking place.

Earlier this year, Dana White positively announced that Conor McGregor will lock horns with Michael Chandler at the end of the 31st season of ‘The Ultimate Fighter’. But he dropped a big bombshell after updating the fans that the weight class was yet to be decided for the bout. Since then, the excitement for McGregor’s return fight has died down.

Chael Sonnen questions the return of Conor McGregor

‘The American Gangster’ recently dropped a video on YouTube where he stated that speculating about McGregor’s upcoming fight is “fair game.” He mentioned that the details provided regarding the fight so far are not as accurate as most people think it is. Sonnen said, “We know nothing.” He added, “We know that there’s no match, no way against Chandler, no 155 lbs or 170 lbs. No training camp at Big Bear they are in the middle of. Nothing we have been told is accurate.” (0:50)

Chael Sonnen mentions that the protection of information is essential for the fight business. However, he claims Michael Chandler is going to realize his fight against McGregor may not take place at all. Sonnen said, “Chandler is going to wake up and realize, ‘I don’t have a fight coming up with Connor. Which means I don’t have a fight coming up at all.”

Chael Sonnen believes Michael Chandler might become doubtful about his fight against ‘Notorious’

With all the confusion around the return of the former double champion, Sonnen believes that Michael Chandler will start asking questions to the authority about the fight which Dana White confirmed himself. Sonnen said, “There’s a lot of information that we don’t have. A lot.” (4:43)

The UFC legend added, “At some point, it’s not gonna be us that’s asking. It’s going to be [Michael] Chandler.” Sonnen believes that ‘Iron’ may start thinking about getting another fight if Conor McGregor doesn’t come through. “Chandler’s gotta look around and go, ‘Hey, I’m working really hard and I prepared for something and I was told and I am counting on him [McGregor]. I understand things change. I am not mad at anybody. But I would like a different opponent.’ At some point, he’s gonna ask those questions,” said ‘The American Gangster’.
