Chandler called out McGregor in the past, sending a message to the Irish-born fighter after finishing Tony Ferguson with a head-kick knockout in UFC 247.
“I am the most entertaining lightweight on the planet, but I’ll up the stakes, Conor. I want you at your biggest. I want you at your baddest and at your best. You and me at 170 this summer, this fall, this winter. Holla at your boy,” Chandler said at the time, per Yahoo Sports.
McGregor was the first fighter to hold two championship belts at two separate divisions but has not fought since breaking his leg in a fight against Dustin Poirier in July 2021. He has lost his last two fights, and three of his past four, but still remains the biggest draw in the sport due to his popularity and brand.
Chandler will reap the financial benefits of squaring off against McGregor, but he badly needs a win. He has also lost three of his last four since defeating Ferguson, including his last fight against Poirier in November.
The Conor McGregor–Michael Chandler odds show that we could be in for a classic when they square off. We’ll continue to track how the line moves until the bout.
