Michael Chandler continued to wrap up his 2023 by taking aim at the person he expected to have faced by now.
Chandler (23-8 MMA, 2-3 UFC) signed up to coach “The Ultimate Fighter” opposite Conor McGregor (22-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC) earlier this year. The opposing coaches typically fight after the season. But in this case, McGregor still has no return date on the books, and regularly has teased the possibility that his return to any kind of combat sport will be against someone other than Chandler.
Chandler already posited that McGregor is waiting for him to run out of patience and book a different fight – and then we’ll see the McGregor return announcement against someone other than Chandler, one of the most revered hard-to-finish knockout artists in the game.
