DFor several weeks now, the UFC has been a powder keg. Last minute injuries, fines, fights… All this has led to a puzzle where Not even the fighters themselves know what piece they are. This Saturday Michael Chandler and Conor McGregor should have fought at UFC 303but An injury to the Irishman caused the fight to be cancelled.. Given this, Dana White said that she would give Chandler any fight if Conor took a while to return.
It seems that the boss was not lying, since after Arman Tsarukyan was suspended for a period of six months, everything indicates that Dana has offered Chandler a title fight against Islam Makhachev. As the former Bellator champion has said in his cuent of X, it would be before his second chance to take the lightweight title.
However, Chandler only has one goal in mind: fighting McGregor. The American has even proposed a date for the Irishman to recover from his broken finger. UFC 306, at ‘The Sphere’ in Las Vegas, in the largest event in the history of sports as defined by Dana White.
Makhachev’s response has not been long in coming
After these statements, the lightweight champion did not take long to appear on social networks to insult the man who could become his rival in the future. He basically he has said that Chandler is not trustworthy (in reference to filtering the fight they wanted to do), in addition to wanting a real opponent for his next fight.
Amid all the commotion and lack of rivals for Khabib’s cousin, Another of those who came out to offer himself was Dustin Poirier, that after hitting him just a month ago it seems that he wants a new opportunity. In this case, the Russian’s response was more concise. “No, thanks”. For many, money and greatness weigh more than a title, and today McGregor generates much more than Makhachev in terms of sales and prestige. We will see if UFC 306 is the definitive showcase for the return of ‘The Notorious’.
