"Fuck Conor!". The UFC veteran gave Chandler some advice

UFC veteran Matt Brown reached out to Michael Chandler, advising him not to wait for McGregor and take the fight with Islam Makhachev.

"Why don't you jump at this chance? Take the fight, sign the contract right today. I don't see a single reason to turn down this chance. Let's say Conor comes back - he's not going to turn down a title fight, is he? Then it won't just be a fight against McGregor. It would be a fight against McGregor for the title. Before, Chandler needed Conor. Now he's got a title shot and he doesn't need Conor. So take the fucking title shot! Fuck Conor! Go for it," Browne said in an interview with The Fighter vs. The Writer.
