Well that's BS...fall? LMAO. This fight will never happen, or Dana is fucking with us and it will be on 300.
Crazy we waited a whole year for December 2023, and it still might be another year. At this point I don't care.
I think this is not Conor's fault.. I think the UFC wants to wait out Chandler.
By contract the UFC has to offer Chandler fights.
I bet they want to give Conor an easier fight or a title fight/title eliminator. Like Leon vs McNugget.
They want Chandler to get antsy, sign a fight and then they will immediately get Conor a fight.
exactly my thoughtsGuessing the ufc isn’t giving Conor a fight until he signs an extension. 2 fights left on the deal. If you let it get down to 1 Conor has too much power
Conor said he was ready to go. Why is the UFC making them wait?
Your undying devotion to the leprechaun is sweet. Chandler destroys him. But, alas, I seriously doubt the fight ever happens.Chandler has other things going for him besides fighting, he can afford to wait it out. McGregor will fight him, and destroy him. Chandler will get millions for his beating though.
In regards to Conor fighting again. I don’t recall Dana lying. He’s going by what Conor is telling him. What Conor told USADA. He was supposed to join the testing pool last June. To put in 6 months of testing before 296. Dana repeats what he’s been told to the media. But you can tell he’s had just about enough of Conor’s bullshit.
Dana White went on the Pat Macfee Show and was asked about about Mcgregor vs Chandler saying:
"Eventually. Hopefully this year. I'm hoping for the fall"
Is this fight ever gonna happen or was Mcgregor screwing Michael Chandler over this whole time? lol
Plenty of reasons:
(1) McGregor will fight Chandler: he has been begging the UFC to set the date for a long time. He keeps doing interviews saying UFC won't make the fight set yet.
(2) McGregor will destroy Chandler: he's faster, stronger, more agile, better grappler, and a far better striker. McGregor at 50% beats Chandler. Eddie Alvarez is better than Chandler in almost every sense and McGregor put on a -800 show against him.
If he loses the stay-busy fight, he loses the greatest opportunity of his career. Waiting for McGregor must be frustrating, but it make the most sense for his career.Fall?
Chandler should take a fight. And hope Conor does actually keep his word at some point (doubtful.. Conor screwed Dustin’s charity over).
To sit out that long at his age. It’s a really crappy idea. Surely he can find a relatively safe stay busy fight. Conor is an addict, allegedly. He can’t be trusted to keep his word. Don’t move on, but take a fight, imo. He gets paid well, and is nearing the end of the road.
Fuckin FALL?
Holy shit, they might as well fuckin cancel it before it ever happens.
Chandler has other things going for him besides fighting, he can afford to wait it out. McGregor will fight him, and destroy him. Chandler will get millions for his beating though.
I get it, we're all tired of waiting. But this is going to be probably the biggest fight since McGregor vs Diaz. It'll be worth the wait, even if it's not until 2025.
I think UFC's broadcast deal with ESPN is up at the end of the year and they're looking to put themselves in a good position of strength to negotiate for whatever is next. McGregor supposedly only has 2 fights left on his current deal, in a perfect world for the UFC I imagine they'd like McGregor smashing Chandler in a big PPV at the end of the year (however likely we think that is) and have that help springboard them into getting a massive new broadcasting deal for 2025 and beyond.
