Chandler: "I've been offered a fight with Makhachev"

American veteran of the UFC lightweight division Michael Chandler said that the organization's management offered him to become the opponent of champion Islam Makhachev in October.

At the same time, Michael emphasized that the priority option for him remains a money fight with superstar Conor McGregor, which he has been patiently waiting for since November 2022.

"I've been offered a fight with Islam Makhachev in October, but if Conor McGregor's pinky is ready by September, let's do it at the Sphere. Biggest event in history!", - wrote Chandler in X.

Recall that Chandler and McGregor were scheduled to fight on June 29 at UFC 303, but the latter pulled out due to a fractured finger.
