With speculation rife regarding regarding the possibility of a welterweight clash between former two-weight UFC champion, Conor McGregor, and veteran lightweight, Michael Chandler, the latter has issued a notable warning to the Dubliner – hinting at a potential wrestling-heavy gameplan to boot.
Chandler, the current number five ranked lightweight contender, has been sidelined from active competition since he featured on the main card of UFC 281 back in November of last year, suffering a third round rear-naked choke submission loss to common-foe, Dustin Poirier.
Also last featuring against former interim champion, Poirier, McGregor fractured his left tibia and fibula against the Louisianan at UFC 264 back in July 2021, dropping a first round doctor’s stoppage TKO loss as a result.
