UFC ranked lightweightMichael Chandler has spoken out about his upcoming fight with Conor McGregor, the promotion's former two weight class champion.
"The most likely scenario is I'm going to go out there and completely dismantle him, and that's probably the last time we'll see Conor fight. I can't lose to a guy who's been out for three years. I can't lose to a guy who's been written off. I can't lose to a guy who gave up and is sleeping on silk sheets on his Lamborghini yacht. I can't lose to that guy," Chandler said on The MMA Hour program.
Recall, the fight Chandler - McGregor will take place on June 29 in the framework of the tournament UFC 303 in Las Vegas (USA).
Arman Tsarukyan, the No. 1 ranked light heavyweight in the UFC, admitted that he would like to have a bout with the organization's former two-weight champion Conor McGregor.
"Of course it's possible. If Conor beats Chandler now and I win the title, it could be that we fight. I have to make a name, though, and I'm going to make it on McGregor. A fight with Conor is very good for the media. Khabib, on the other hand, made a name for himself on Conor," Tsarukyan stated.
Tsarukyan had his last fight on April 14. As part of the 300th anniversary event, Arman won a split decision over former promotion lightweight champion Charles Oliveira.
During Saturday's BKFC KnuckleMania 4 broadcast, it was unexpectedly announced that former UFC two-weight champion Conor McGregor is now the owner of the world's most famous fist-fighting promotion.
Arman Tsarukyan, a top UFC lightweight, gave his prediction for the upcoming fight between Michael Chandler and the organization's former champion in two weight categories Conor McGregor. Arman considers the Irishman as the favorite for this fight.
"Chandler never turns his brain on. He always fights for the fans. Michael will try to knock out McGregor because he is very dangerous in the first round. If the fight gets to the second or third round, Chandler will lose. In my opinion, Conor is more resilient and more intelligent," Tsarukyan said on the air of the podcast Believe You Me.
Let's remind that the showdown between Chandler and McGregor will take place on June 29 in Las Vegas and will headline UFC 303.
Renowned MMA manager Ali Abdel-Aziz shared his opinion on former UFC champion in two weight categories Conor McGregor, and also commented on a potential fight between the Irishman and his client, the promotion's lightweight division titleholder Islam Makhachev.
"Islam's fight against McGregor right now? Conor is easy money for Islam. But I don't like McGregor. He talked bad about my friends' families, my father, my wife. Look, if someone says mean things about your wife, there's sure to be a fight. And McGregor also called me a terrorist," Abdel-Aziz said in an interview with Show Me The Money.
Recall that on June 1 at UFC 302 Makhachev will fight Dustin Puryear.
