Michael Chandler hopes to fight Conor McGregor in July 2023 after oddsmakers tipped him as the most likely candidate for the latter’s comeback fight.
‘Iron Mike’ has been vocal about fighting ‘The Notorious for the better part of the last two years, revealing to MMA Junkie that things are finally moving in the right direction for the proposed matchup.
He didn’t reveal whether official talks were underway but is hopeful the fight will come together by July, possibly in Las Vegas.
“People think it’s going to be the fastest-paced, craziest first round of all-time,” Chandler said of a possible fight with McGregor.
