“Here for it”- Michael Chandler waxes hopeful for a mega fight against Conor McGregor in the future

Michael Chandler- Conor McGregor

UFC Lightweight Michael Chandler is not going to forget his wish to fight UFC megastar Conor McGregor anytime soon and will therefore keep giving the MMA community the necessary reminders as well. Chandler has not fought since November of 2021 when he last fought a fight of the year against Justin Gaethje at UFC 268. Though Chandler lost that bout, he definitely earned a lot of attention and respect from the fans for living up to his motto prior to entering into the UFC- not here for a long time, but a good time.

Chandler is now looking forward to fight UFC Lightweight Tony Ferguson next month at UFC 274, headlined by a lightweight title fight between the champion Charles Oliveira and challenger Justin Gaethje. While Chandler is on a 2-fight skid, Ferguson is on a 3-fight skid, therefore this win should mean a world to both the fighters in order to get back to the winning column and prove their worth for a title fight, all over again.

Recently, a fan posted out a photoshopped image of Conor McGregor facing Michael Chandler at a typical UFC ceremonial weigh in. The fan wrote in the caption “This fight better happen one day @MikeChandlerMMA @TheNotoriousMMA #UFC” Chandler in return showed his support for the fan’s wish to make the fight happen and therefore quoted on the fan’s post “Here for it”

The image used by the fan was originally put out by Chandler last year in order to express his desire to fight McGregor. Chandler then wrote in the captions for the picture “2022” McGregor then did respond to Chandler affirming that the fight would happen someday. Fast forward to now, McGregor seems to be reluctant to fight a weight class below the welterweight division, and therefore would be going for challenging the reigning defending welterweight champion Kamaru Usman for the title of the third division in McGregor’s record.

What do you make of Chandler still being ready to fight McGregor some time soon? Do you think this fight will happen by the end of this year, or at all? Also, who do you think wins between Chandler and his UFC 274 opponent Tony Ferguson? Also, do you think McGregor, the former 2-division champion in the UFC, will be able to get a title shot to the third weight class of his competition on his return?
