Michael Chandler Predicts Conor McGregor UFC Return
Michael Chandler spoke to MMAFighting.com and he expressed his belief that Conor McGregor will eventually fight again.
“I do think [he returns],” Chandler said. “Maybe I’ve just been so close to it and so focused on it that you just look at his history, Conor McGregor is a nothing, nobody without the sport of mixed martial arts. Without the UFC platform. Without the legacy that he has created.
“I believe he’s romantic about it. I believe that he loves the sport. I believe that his spirit loves the sport but sometimes his body and his brain want other things. I’ve never walked a mile in that man’s shoes, neither have you, so who are we to critique him? But I do believe he comes back and when he does, I’ll be waiting. I just might have the title by then.”
Some fans and experts believe Chandler did a disservice to himself by waiting on McGregor only to walk away empty-handed. That will be a moot point if Chandler can get a measure of revenge on Oliveira inside Madison Square Garden in New York City.
