Thomson: "No one will be impressed with Chandler's win over McGregor"

Dmitriy Kel April 1, 2024, 4:11 a.m.

Retired American mixed martial arts veteran, commentator and expert Josh Thomson has had some harsh words about the looming fight between former UFC two-weight champion Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler.

"When Nate Diaz beat Conor McGregor, it was a special occasion. We all thought Conor was a special fighter at the time and Diaz jumped over the top to beat him. Nate then took the fight on two weeks notice. It was an incredible event.

But I doubt anyone will be impressed now if Chandler beats McGregor. Personally, I certainly won't be surprised. You're going to beat a guy who's been in movies, booing and partying for three years," Middle Easy quoted Thomson as saying.
