Michael Chandler believes he and Conor McGregor should fight on July 1 as the main event of the UFC's International Fight Week.
The Irishman will have been out of action for almost two years to the day when next year's showcase event rolls around in Las Vegas, and would be a huge attraction for fans. He appears to be recovered from the broken leg he suffered against Dustin Poirier but is six months away from being eligible to compete due to a lack of USADA testing.
And Chandler, the former Bellator champion who is one of the UFC's most exciting lightweights, believes that he is the perfect opponent for the Irishman to return against. He has been pushing for the fight as long as he's been in the promotion, and McGregor appears keen on the idea as well, telling him back in May that they would fight at some point in his career.
