Michael Chandler vs. Conor McGregor is officially in place, and after months of teasing by Dana Whitethe duo is finally going to fight in UFC 303 on June 29th. This fight is going to take place in the welterweight division, and both fighters have already started their verbal bouts ahead of their fight.

Recently, MMA Junkie posted an Instagram picture where they quoted Michael Chandler, describing how he would defeat ‘The Notorious’ inside the octagon, and the description is quite graphic. Let’s take a look.

According to Chandler, He’s going to start looking for the exit signs, and I’m going to usher him right to them.” I might even hold his hand on the way to the exit sign. I might even give him a little tap on the tush on the way outside of the exit signs. That’s the plan. In the second round: KO, TKO, or I take his back and I steal his soul through his esophagus.”

So the fighter openly threatened Mystic Mac and social media. After staying on hiatus for his shin injury from the last fight with Dustin Poirier, McGregor is back in the game. His coach, John Kavanagh, also seems confident about the Road House actor. His coach praised him and his training methods and predicted that McGregor’s technique was as sharp as ever.

Kavanagh also said, “I’d be surprised if the Michael Chandler fight can go to rounds. He hits too hard; he’s too sharp. Is there going to be scrappiness if you take down stuff? Maybe. But every round starts on the feet, and his ability to get back there is underestimated.”

So ‘The Notorious’ has the confidence of his coach, and even with a titanium rod on his leg after the operation, his coach is confident that his KOs are going to be sharp. However, this did not stop Michael Chandler from making a threat to his opponent.

Michael Chandler has planned to KO Connor McGregor

Chandler has had a rough time in his MMA career because he lost three out of his last four fights. His last win was against Tony Ferguson in 2022. Meanwhile, Conor McGregor has not participated in a fight since 2021, after his injury. Both of the fighters need to win their next fight, especially because the fight has been building up for years.

Chandler was already determined that he would knock out McGregor, and he reiterated the same while in conversation with ‘The Mac Life’. Um, I don’t know if it’s going to be a KO or a choke; make him give up his back and his neck, um, but I think it’s going to be a second-round finish. And, uh, that has not changed. That’s my Mystic Mike prediction, articulated Chandler.

This clash has been marinating for a long time and is headlining UFC 303. This fight also has the potential to become one of the highest-grossing bouts for the UFC since it is Conor McGregor’s comeback. Who do you think is going to win this match?
