Michael Chandler proposes future solution to securing Conor McGregor fight amidst Irish star’s political run

UFC star Michael Chandler might be losing hope in a Conor McGregor showdown, but potentially not in the Octagon.

Michael Chandler and Conor McGregor were supposed to square off after they filmed The Ultimate Fighter 31. But after their UFC 303 booking fell apart just weeks before the event last June, McGregor’s fighting return timeline remains foggy, especially after he recently announced he’s running for president in Ireland.
