Chandler has revealed whether he will continue to wait to fight McGregor

UFC American lightweight Michael Chandler, who hasn't stepped into the octagon since last November, has made it clear that he will wait patiently for a box office fight with former two-weight champion Conor McGregor.

"We hope to be back sooner than everyone thinks. I like fighting, but I'm a very patient person. And luckily my life has given me the opportunity to do more than just smash people's faces in. So I have the ability to sit back and be patient while waiting for Conor.

The last year and a half I've been very busy. It didn't work out the way I wanted it to this time. We're going to be patient and not let Conor go unpunished. He will be ready to come back soon as he only has a minor injury," Chandler is quoted by Low Kick MMA.

Recall that Chandler and McGregor were supposed to headline UFC 303, but the star Irishman pulled out due to injury.
