Islam Makhachev: Conor McGregor 'For Sure' Retires from UFC If He Loses to Chandler

UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev thinks Conor McGregor's next fight could be his last, depending on the result.

Speaking to reporters at UFC 284 media day, Makhachev said McGregor "is going to retire for sure" if he loses to Michael Chandler.

UFC president Dana White announced last week that McGregor and Chandler will be coaches on the upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter, leading to a showdown between the two superstars.

The date and location have not yet been determined for the bout, but it will take place after TUF's season is finished in August.
