UFC legend Tito Ortiz believes Conor McGregor should hold off on fighting Michael Chandler in his MMA comeback due to his similarities to Khabib Nurmagomedov.
McGregor has been entertaining offers for his first fight back following a leg break last summer at the hands of Dustin Poirier, with Chandler emerging as one of the front runners. However, the former Bellator champion is a known star wrestler, which Ortiz warns could cause the Irishman trouble.
The former two-weight world champion has struggled with wrestlers in the past, even when he was as low as 145lb and facing Chad Mendes during his rise through the ranks. And he was completely dominated by Nurmagomedov in their 2018 bout, which Ortiz believes could be similar to a future meeting with Chandler.
