MICHAEL CHANDLER stated that a fight against Conor McGregor could be one of the most electrifying' bouts of all time, but only if the Irishman heals up.
McGregor is just starting to return to training, as he continues his rehabilitation from the horror leg injury he suffered in his fight in July.
Michael Chandler stated that a fight against Conor McGregor could be "one of the most electrifying"
.
Chandler is looking to make a comeback to the UFC next year and has offered to fight the former UFC two-weight champion.
Helen Yee Sports was told by Conor: "I mean Conor, you understand, hope he heals pretty well.
"But yes, there are a lot people that have talked for a long time about Conor and me fighting.
"I believe it will be one the most electrifying rounds ever, especially the first.
"We'll both travel 100 miles per hour, and we'll see who wins. We'll just have to wait and see. That fight should happen sometime, I hope."
Chandler, 35, made his debut in the UFC on McGregor’s undercard in January. He defeated Dan Hooker (31), in the first round.
However, he was defeated by Charles Oliveira (32), when he tried to challenge for the vacant lightweight title.
Now, Chandler will face Justin Gaethje (33), on November 6th, while Oliveira will defend his belt against Dustin Poirier (32) a month later.
McGregor was defeated by Poirier in January, but he sustained the fractured tibia in their trio bout six months later. He lost by doctor's stoppage.
Since then, he has had surgery and uploaded his first session on the pads again.
McGregor wrote on Instagram: "Back With a Vengeance!"
"Thank you to my doctors and team for getting me so far after my surgery!"
"There's work to do, but doing work is what makes me famous." Get ready for the greatest sports comeback ever!
