Michael Chandler is starting to cast doubt on Conor McGregor ever fighting him.
Chandler (23-8 MMA, 2-3 UFC) has been patient in landing a mega fight with McGregor (22-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC) after the pair opposed each other as coaches on Season 31 of “The Ultimate Fighter” earlier this year. But stll with no date or venue announced, Chandler wonders if McGregor is tactically dragging out the process so he can avoid the fight.
“I think right now he’s trying to wait me out,” Chandler told Steve-O. “I mean, because if you were him, would you want to wait as long as possible for the guy like me, who’s a real fighter, who wants to be in there, who wants to compete so that I say, ‘Screw it, I’m going to go fight someone else,’ and then he can go fight an easier fight, Nate Diaz. He can go fight an easier fight, Tony Ferguson. He can go find a much easier fight than fighting me.”
