Michael Chandler gave out his optimistic take on the Conor McGregor bout

Most UFC fans are aware of the fact Conor McGregor’s return bout against Michael Chandler is currently in jeopardy. ‘The Irishman’ failed the USADA deadline, which will prevent him from gaining a clearance to compete inside the octagon this year. But, with the UFC boss Dana White’s recent indication towards the possibility of an exemption for McGregor, ‘Iron’ also gave out his optimism towards the materialization of the bout.

In a recent interview with TMZ Sports, Chandler implied although there is a darkness surrounding the happening of this bout, in the end, it will definitely materialize. His exact words were, “The fight is definitely happening. I’ve been telling people, this thing is set, we’re waiting to kind of put it all out there. I do not know, (but) I know there’s a decent kind of time frame but I can’t disclose and it’s not a pinpointed date. Obviously, there’s a lot of stuff going on, but just like Dana said this, fight this fight is happening.”

John McCarthy predicted the disadvantages Stipe Miocic might have against Jon Jones

The current UFC Heavyweight champ, Jon Jones, made his next target clear right after he claimed the title at UFC 285. In his post fight interview, ‘Bones’ called out the former UFC Heavyweight king, Stipe Miocic, asking him for “all the smoke”. The UFC supremo, Dana White, also recently confirmed the bout to be featured at UFC 295 on 11 November.

But, the former UFC referee, ‘Big’ John McCarthy, recently gave out his take on the bout, predicting that Miocic might be at a significant disadvantage due to one of the factors. McCarthy along with his other ‘WEIGHING IN’ podcast host, Josh Thomson, predicted that Miocic’s age might be a limiting factor to his in octagon performance against ‘Bones’.
