Say what you will about Conor McGregor’s behavior outside of the cage but inside the cage his skills speak for themselves.
Those were the sentiments of No. 5-ranked UFC lightweight and former three-time Bellator lightweight champion Michael Chandler, who shut down McGregor’s most outspoken critics during a recent appearance on Bussin’ With The Boys (h/t Middle Easy).
“He’s a different level of competitor and anybody who discredits him because he’s lost fights is just either a casual or a Conor hater to be honest with you,” Chandler said.
Chandler also believes he and McGregor make for the perfect matchup and claims the latter is criminally underrated in the grappling department.
