Ranked Polish UFC lightweight Mateusz Gamroth criticized Michael Chandler, who has been idle since November 2022 waiting for a box office bout with former two-division champion Conor McGregor of the promotion.
"Michael Chandler doesn't want to fight me. But I'm ready to fight him right now, no problem. This guy is waiting for Conor. He's going to be waiting for this fight his whole life. I don't think he's going to fight any real fighters in our division. Speaking of me, I'm ready to face any top-five guy. I want to be at the top," Cageside quoted Gamrott as saying.
On March 8 at UFC 299 in Miami, USA, Gamrot defeated Rafael Dos Anjos by unanimous decision.
