Chandler responded to calls to abandon the fight with McGregor
American UFC lightweight Michael Chandler responded to critics who persistently advise him to refuse a box office fight with the main star of the promotion Conor McGregor.
“No one was in my place and waited for the fight as much as I do. I was ready to fight right after The Ultimate Fighter show. Still, the vacation turned out to be excellent. I spent time with my family. My business was thriving, even though I wasn’t fighting in the Octagon. Conor was also minding his own business.
I can say that I will not get off this train. I have too much confidence that our battle will take place. “I can’t do otherwise,” MMA Mania quotes Chandler as saying.
