Michael Chandler has decided to not fight any other contenders and wait for Conor McGregor. The recent UFC 303 cancellation comes as a big blow to ‘Iron’ as his wait extends.
Chael Sonnen has addressed Chandler’s situation, pointing out why fighting someone else might not be appealing for ‘Iron’. He said, “People definitely want to see him fight but he doesn’t have anyone that remotely comes close to having the drama and the steam of Conor McGregor. So, I’ve been for Chandler moving on from the beginning. At this point, I say wait just a little bit longer.”
Michael Chandler, as always, has maintained commendable behavior amid the drams. He recently released a social media video addressing the McGregor fight cancellation.
