Video: Michael Chandler Confirms Conor McGregor UFC Fight; Summer Date Unknown
More than one year after UFC president Dana White said Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler would square off inside the octagon, it appears there's actual progress in making the fight a reality.
Appearing on FS1's TMZ Sports show, Chandler said he's "got the official announcement" the fight is "happening this summer."
Chandler said he couldn't give the official date for the bout, but it is going to happen. This comes after McGregor told ESPN's Marc Raimondi on Tuesday they "got confirmation a few days ago that it's all systems go" for a matchup this summer.
According to Raimondi, McGregor has previously said the fight with Chandler was going to take place at UFC 303 on June 29.
