Michael Chandler Reiterates Interest In Conor McGregor Matchup Following UFC 274 KO Victory: “That Fight With Conor, I’m Serious About It”
UFC lightweight contender Michael Chandler is all-in on a potential matchup with former two-division champion, Conor McGregor.
Chandler spoke with reporters at the UFC 274 post-fight press conference following his sensational second-round KO victory over former interim UFC lightweight champ, Tony Ferguson, on Saturday night and explained why he’s interested in a clash with the Irish superstar next.
“That fight with Conor, I’m serious about it,” Chandler said (h/t MMA Junkie). “You’re going to be hard-pressed to find somebody who doesn’t think I’m one of the most exciting guys on the planet now. I think I’ve proven that numerous times now. Conor needs a big fight to put butts in seats, to sell pay-per-views, and a fight at 170 would be a lot better than 155. When Conor comes back and he’s healthy, I’ll be there.”
