Conor McGregor could face a brutal beating if he is accused of not taking Michael Chandler seriously

Conor McGregor's UFC Return

Conor McGregor is set to make his long-awaited UFC return against Michael Chandler, but there are concerns that McGregor is not taking his opponent seriously. The fight has not yet been officially confirmed, but McGregor raised eyebrows when he announced on social media that he would face Chandler on June 29 at middleweight, two divisions above his last fight weight. This has led retired former boxing world champion Carl Froch to question McGregor's commitment to the fight.

McGregor's Lack of Preparation

According to Froch, McGregor's decision to fight at a higher weight class indicates that he may not be taking Chandler seriously in training. This lack of preparation could be dangerous for McGregor, as it may result in him getting hurt in the fight. Froch believes that McGregor's mindset will not be right and that he will be unprepared for the challenge.

McGregor's Recent Activities

While McGregor has been celebrating the release of the trailer for his Hollywood debut alongside Jake Gyllenhaal in a Roadhouse reboot, he has also been posting training footage to assure fans that he is on track for his fight. McGregor has been sidelined since July 2021 after breaking his leg in a fight against Dustin Poirier.

Uncertainty Surrounding McGregor's Return

Despite McGregor's claims of fighting in June, UFC president Dana White has shot down these rumors and stated that McGregor's return will be announced when he is ready to fight. The historic UFC 300 card, set for April 13 in Las Vegas, is still without a headliner, and McGregor has hinted that he may be the one to take it.

It remains to be seen whether McGregor will take the necessary steps to prepare for his fight against Chandler. If he fails to do so, he could face a brutal beating in the Octagon.
