After the announcement of Conor McGregor’s return, Michael Chandler has been waiting for his chance to take on the former dual weight champion. But there looms a sense of uncertainty as McGregor might not be ready by the time of December. Recently, in the Anthony Joshua boxing match, McGregor surprised everyone by announcing their December fight, even though he’s yet to enter the USADA testing pool.

Amidst McGregor’s challenges to various opponents, Michael Chandler remains unsure. The promise of facing McGregor is alluring, yet doubts continue to grow. UFC insists on the fight, but McGregor’s diversions raise doubts. At the Anthony Joshua match, McGregor’s sudden announcement about a December bout stirred excitement, but his USADA testing status remains uncertain. The question remains: Can we trust McGregor’s words for this historic clash?

Michael Chandler’s opinion on the fight

In a recent interview with Daniel Cormier, Michael Chandler indulged in a conversation relating to the recent announcement by the Irishman regarding the potential match-up between him and McGregor. Michael Chandler confidently specified that he is even ready to fight him if he comes tomorrow, he stated that “For me, you know I’m ready. I’m staying in shape. If it could happen by the end of the year, that would be phenomenal, you know I’m ready tomorrow”

As the conversation progressed, he emphasized whether McGregor is training or not. He stated, “Is he training? I don’t know how much he’s training. We see him on boats more than we see him hitting bags.”

McGregor’s comeback mix of anticipation and uncertainty

Dana White, the head of the UFC, had originally slated Conor McGregor’s comeback for UFC 293 in December of this year. Given the circumstances, it must have been disappointing news for White that ‘The Notorious’ missed his USADA deadline. However, in a recent interview, the 55-year-old executive exuded confidence in McGregor’s return as per the scheduled date. McGregor, who had been relatively quiet about this matter until now, also broke his silence recently and took the opportunity to name three opponents of his preference.

McGregor’s exact words were, “Chandler next, December. And then Gaethje ‘BMF’. And then we’ll do Nate trilogy.” 

As the anticipation for the potential McGregor-Chandler match grows, uncertainties exist due to the former’s unpredictability and testing status. Fans are hoping for an intense clash. However, the happening or non-happening of the fight remains a mystery, leaving the MMA world in suspense.
