Michael Chandler has promised to show a "new side" to his well-rounded MMA game when he faces Conor McGregor in his UFC comeback fight later this year.
The former Bellator lightweight champion will welcome two-weight UFC world champion McGregor back to the octagon after the pair coach this season of The Ultimate Fighter. It will be the Irishman's first fight in over two years, and will signal Chandler's move up to welterweight after a career at lightweight.
Chandler is a famed 155lb fighter, and his five UFC fights to date have taken place at the weight, but he has admitted he finds the weight difficult to make. And should he win, he plans to stick around at 170lb after both he and McGregor bulked up during their times away from the octagon after each losing to Dustin Poirier.
