UFC 300: Conor McGregor vs Michael Chandler Reportedly Scheduled as Main/Co-Main for Las Vegas Event

Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler‘s matchup finally could come to fruition. Of late, there has been plenty of confusion around the bout. Many became concerned if it would ever happen. This also includes Chandler himself, who admitted that McGregor and his team were making it seem like the fight was not happening.

Now, there’s an update that could change it all. The bout may just be set for UFC 300 and it makes sense since McGregor will have undergone the necessary testing to facilitate the fight. It would most likely be in April 2024. What card will the fight be on? Here’s everything that’s being reported as of now.

Michael Chandler and Conor McGregor to take place at UFC 300?

Reports now suggest that Chandler will be fighting Conor McGregor at UFC 300 in either the main or the co-main event of the pay-per-view. Fans have plenty of reactions to the news. Some believe it’s going to be a blast watching ‘The Notorious’ back in the cage. While others are more certain that a main or co-main event should feature a title fight.

The return of the Irishman is certainly a much awaited event. McGregor is being his classic self perhaps as he tries to get inside Chandler’s head by not entertaining him as much as before. The verbal spats have died out and slowly, Chandler has been wondering if the fight ever happens.

However, McGregor has to return at some point. Fighting Chandler would settle a storyline as well as potentially set up a title fight for the winner of the two. A lightweight bout between McGregor and Islam Makhachev would be the retelling of ‘The Notorious’ fighting his nemesis, Khabib Nurmagomedov.

However, is it too early to expect that? It doesn’t make sense for McGregor to return without reasonably high stakes. He’s the biggest UFC star out there. It only makes sense for his return to be a very hyped event and something like a co-main or main event would suffice. So why did Chael Sonnen think that the bout is actually not happening.

“You know why Conor McGregor, the sport’s biggest star, will not be fighting at UFC 300? Do you know the answer as to why?… Because it is not a title fight. UFC 300 will be capped off with a world title.” Sonnen also said that the fight won’t really happen unless McGregor is on the main card. Because only a star like him could command the main event without a title fight. Do you think the fight is happening? Let us know in the comments.
