Michael Chandler believes in the hard work and dedication he put in for his upcoming fight with Conor McGregor. But he also did not discredit the UFC champion during his recent interview. The fight is in 52 days and Michael Chandler has been waiting for a long time. But is he confident he will beat the UFCโs first simultaneous two-division champion?
Michael Chandler recently sat down for a conversation with New York Post Sports. During their discussion, Chandler admitted that Conor McGregor could pull off a comeback.
Conor might be able to pull off the greatest comeback in combat sports history. The guy did snap his leg, it was a very gruesome injury and many many people wrote him off.

However, that is what makes this PPV even more interesting. Chandler also said that this could very well be the last time Conor McGregor ever steps into the octagon. The fight is this June at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada.
McGregor had a severe injury and was out of the octagon for a significant amount of time. Many people wrote off his career to be over. But Chandler recognizes that there is a possibility, McGregor will pull off an incredible comeback.
Conor McGregor has a deadline to accept Manny Pacquiaoโs fight
Conor McGregor may have his long-awaited UFC comeback coming up. But he also has another big fight on his plate. After the epic showdown with Floyd Mayweather in the ring, Conor McGregor has the opportunity to trade punches with Manny Pacquiao.
Pacquiaoโs advisor Sean Gibbons has revealed Pacquiao will make a second run for president of his homeland. This means there is not much time for a showdown if McGregor chooses to accept the fight.
It was always really a great dream for him and Conor McGregor, but Conorโs got so much UFC business or whatever. Mannyโs got about nine months left because heโs going to run for office again, so heโs still actively looking for something.

Reportedly, The Notorious has to fight Pac-Man within the next nine months if he chooses to accept the fight. McGregorโs previous fight with Mayweather generated the second-highest buy rate in PPV history and over $600 million in revenue. It will be interesting to see if Pacquiao and McGregor ever step into the ring together.
