Chandler Believes Their Showdown Could Headline UFC 300
Michael Chandler, the former three-time Bellator lightweight champion, has expressed his belief that his highly anticipated clash with Conor McGregor could headline UFC 300. Chandler was announced as McGregor's opponent for his blockbuster UFC return in February, but the fight has been delayed due to the Irishman's absence from the USADA drug testing pool. However, Chandler, who is still unsure of McGregor's status in the pool, is ready to fight at a moment's notice and is preparing to hand McGregor his third consecutive loss.
Chandler Expects to Face McGregor at the UFC's Historic Card in Spring
Chandler expects to finally face McGregor on the UFC's historic card next spring. He believes that a fight of this magnitude should take place on the biggest card the UFC has put together since UFC 200 or UFC 100. While the specific date has not been confirmed, Chandler is ready to fight in the first few months of the year. Although the delay in finalizing the fight has not yet bothered Chandler, he is using the extra time to strategize and plans to knock McGregor out in the first round or two.
McGregor's Eligibility for an April Return
Conor McGregor, the former two-division champion, could be eligible to make his eagerly-anticipated octagon return in April. The Dubliner recently hinted that he has re-entered the USADA testing pool, signaling his readiness to compete again. However, USADA has yet to confirm his status. McGregor, who broke his leg in his last outing over two years ago, shared on Instagram that he is preparing for his comeback and is focused on his training.
