UFC superstar Conor McGregor attended the heavyweight clash between Anthony Joshua and Robert Helenius in London. McGregor sponsored the event with his new Forged Irish Stout. Various media houses came to interview the Irish superstar during the event. Conor McGregor revealed his future plans in an interview that shocked many people.
Conor McGregor said, “Chandler next, December,” McGregor said. “And then Gaethje ‘BMF’ (title fight). And then we’ll do Nate trilogy” (H/T MMA Junkie). The Irish superstar has planned out his next three fights from the interview. In recent weeks, he ignited interest in fighting BMF champion Justin Gaethje and a trilogy with Nate Diaz. However, it will happen after competing against Michael Chandler.
It appears Chandler will get the opportunity to fight McGregor after all. In recent weeks, Gaethje and Charles Oliveira were the names rumored to face McGregor if the Chandler bout failed to materialize. However, Chandler remained calm and composed throughout and maintained that he would be the one to fight McGregor when the Irishman returned. Nate Diaz is a free agent who could return to the UFC if the situation arises.
The highlight of the event involving McGregor came when he went after KSI at the event. McGregor took shots at KSI multiple times. He also threatened to sue Logan Paul if he failed to fight Dillon Danis in their upcoming boxing bout. McGregor said that Logan woke a beast up when he signed up to fight Danis, and McGregor predicted a win for the BJJ artist.
