Conor McGregor's next UFC opponent Michael Chandler is convinced the Irishman's celebrity status has caught up to him.
Former two-weight UFC champion McGregor, 34, is gearing up for his octagon return against Chandler later this year. A date is yet to be announced for the fight and McGregor has seemingly been making more public appearances rather than preparing for his comeback fight.
'Notorious' was ringside for a bare-knuckle fight between two of his former UFC opponents Eddie Alvarez and Chad Mendes over the past weekend, with the UFC star also attending Gervonta Davis vs Ryan Garcia the weekend prior. Chandler thinks McGregor has become as big of a celebrity as a fighter due to his monumental rise in the UFC.
