“Makes a lot of sense right now”- Dana White wants to book the superfight between Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler

Conor McGregor is not far away from making his return if we fans would have to assume. McGregor last competed in July 2021 and suffered a broken tibia at the end of the first round of his trilogy against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264.

McGregor has since only ignited Twitter wars and other controversies as part of the MMA conversation. Regardless, McGregor has undergone a successful recovery and is setting his eyes for another title shot in the future of his career. During the time of his medical leave, McGregor has been called out by numerous individuals and has also been interested in fighting some of the biggest names himself. 

Michael Chandler, who’s coming off a spectacular knockout victory in his last fight at UFC 274 against Tony Ferguson, has been calling out McGregor since 2021 and McGregor has shown mutual interest respectfully. Fans are drooling heavily for a long time over a possible trilogy fight between McGregor and fellow UFC megastar Nate Diaz.

Dana White gives his honest take on Conor McGregor’s return

Dana White is eagerly waiting for Conor’s return, and he believes Conor vs Chandler makes a lot of sense. Talking to TMZ, he said, “I don’t know. I really like Chandler vs. Conor after Chandler’s last fight. There’s plenty of fights to make. I don’t know if (Conor vs Jorge) is the one, but we’ll see what the landscape looks like when Conor comes back.”

“I’m just saying, after his last interview, his last fight, Conor is ranked No. 8, he’s ranked No. 5, it makes a lot of sense right now,” White concluded. After defeating Tony Ferguson in his last fight, Chandler issued a bold callout to McGregor, and ‘The Notorious One’ responded accordingly.

Conor is keen on getting back in the welterweight division, and Chandler to ready to move up a division to take the challenge. As of now, nothing’s been made official, but we hope to see these two competing in the near future.
