Michael Chandler won't wait for UFC star Conor McGregor to return from injury and is instead targeting a fight against Dustin Poirier.
Chandler has seemingly had a change of mind after doubling down on his call out of former two-weight champion McGregor just days ago. 'Iron Mike' claimed a clash with McGregor is the biggest fight to make in MMA, but with the Irishman's return date still unclear Chandler has switched his focus to McGregor's rival Poirier.
The former Bellator champion said of McGregor: "I've called him out in a respectful manner. Conor, when you're ready to come back, whenever you are ready, whenever the leg is 100 per cent healed because the UFC as a promotion is better with Conor in it. We need to see a healthy Conor inside the octagon so he doesn't need to rush back. We'll see when he comes back, so I'm not waiting."
