Conor McGregor‘s comeback story is a whole saga with ups and downs and new shockers. He hasn’t graced the Octagon in over three years after suffering that infamous leg snap against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264. His next supposed outing met a similar fate with him pulling out of a scheduled bout at UFC 303 against Michael Chandler due to a ‘pinky-toe’ injury. Now Chandler has moved on after waiting for almost two years and is going to fight Charles Oliveira at UFC 309.

However, does this mean that ‘Iron Mike’ will never consider McGregor again? Will their unfinished business from The Ultimate Fighter 31 not see the light of day? Hold on tight because Chandler just answered that!

Michael Chandler reveals his decision about Conor McGregor

While speaking to Bo Nickal on the latter’s YouTube channel named, ‘Nickals and Dimes’, one of the obvious topics that Micheal Chandler touched upon was his upcoming bout against Charles Oliveira. Additionally, ‘Iron’ revealed his present mental state and what he felt about the canceled bout against the Irishman. Chandler said, “I think it’s one thing at a time because I’m focused on Oliveira because I mean, this is the biggest opportunity I could’ve asked for. Number one contender fight co-main event on this big card.”

While speaking about the future of his unfinished business, he said, “And obviously I want the Conor fight I feel like we have unfinished business we have to Finish the Ultimate Fighter 31. But I have also waited long enough. I waited the right amount of time having the security and the reassurances behind the scenes that nobody knew about.”

The former Bellator champion mentioned the same aspect of fighting with McGregor on ‘The Schmo’ as well. It must be noted that the duo featured as opposing coaches in one of the most exciting TUF seasons in history. However, the UFC’s tradition of pitting the coaches against each other in the octagon did not come to fruition this time around. And now, there is a different story from Dana White about McGregor’s comeback.

Conor McGregor might comeback against Dan Hooker

Conor McGregor’s comeback story was almost seeing its end until the Dubliner bumped into Dan Hooker at BKFC’s latest outing in Spain. This brief meeting sparked an idea in McGregor’s mind regarding his comeback opponent and both the UFC stars seemed to be positive about this prospect. But it looks like UFC head honcho Dana White might be on board with it as well.

During a press conference for Dana White’s Contender Series, White was asked about his thoughts on the pairing. While initially dismissing the idea, he later suggested that it could be an intriguing fight. He said, ” “Yeah, obviously, that would be a great fight. I like that I did not announce the fight.”

Hooker, in an interview with Helen Yee, acknowledged the potential appeal of the McGregor fight but indicated that his immediate focus was on welcoming his child in February. He did not explicitly rule out the possibility, leaving the door open for a future matchup.

However, the UFC has not spoken to either of the fighters till now. Do you think McGregor will fight Dan Hooker? Will Michael Chandler then get his much-awaited fight against the Dubliner? Tell us in the comments below.
