Michael Chandler is confident that he will defeat Conor McGregor in their upcoming match at UFC 303 in Las Vegas. Despite concerns from fans about McGregor’s preparation after a video of him partying went viral, McGregor has been posting photos and videos of himself training on Instagram. He has emphasized his fighting spirit and bloodied gloves, while Chandler has continued to post training videos and photos to showcase his own preparation.
The two fighters are set to face off at a press conference in Dublin on 3 June, which is a rare move by the UFC to hold an international press tour. Although McGregor has not fought since breaking his leg in July 2021 and his last win was in January 2020, he is determined to prove that he is still a force to be reckoned with in the octagon. Similarly, Chandler faced a loss in his last fight against Poirier in November 2022 but is focused on making up for that loss against McGregor.
Despite the doubts surrounding McGregor’s readiness for the fight, many fans are excited for this highly anticipated match-up between two top contenders in the lightweight division.
