USADA HAS LEFT THE CHAT

[@gavinshay4568]

McGregor has been tested twice as much as any other fighter this year lol. Just because USADA isn't working with the UFC Anymore doesn't mean athletes aren't being tested.

[@supernotnatural]

@@gavinshay4568 Yeah but they are more easy to get tested. USADA doesnt give heads up. Which is all the point. You can clear it out of your system easily. Conor LEFT USADA before USADA left UFC btw. For a a reason.

[@fullmetall77]

I think conor sparks chandler easily if he can defend the takedown

[@fullmetall77]

Chandler throws wide hooks that are telegraphed by a sniper like conor

[@JopJio]

I mean, he has to win against Chandler. Everything else would be embarassing and that's why Conor cherry picked Chandler and even at ww. He is the most easy Option out of all available top 6 at lw

[@Fightconnoisseur96]

​@JopJio why would it be embarrassing? Just being able to come back and perform in the octagon after suffering a career-ending injury would be incredibly impressive. And performing against a top 5 lightweight at that. You would have to be crazy to think that would be embarrassing win or lose.

[@user-sm1nf3vd2b]

I’d normally agree with this but its been so long since he’s had steady activity and im not sure how the leg will affect him

[@JopJio]

​@@Fightconnoisseur96 Chandler is middle class

[@bendershome4discountorphan859]

If his chin isnt weak and his leg holds it eill be a good fight good to see conner back

[@anasshahid224]

Conor McGregor the icon!! The excitement he creates for his fights is next level, from the press conference to the event, his star power and charisma is unmatched, a true global superstar. He truly changed the sport of MMA, helps it grow into a global phenomenon, only one Notorious Conor McGregor 👏👏👏 Welcome back Conor 👑

[@benjaminblakemore9704]

When I broke my medicarpils in my hand fighting, no matter how much I healed I could never trust to throw it hard again. I could not imagine the challenge of breaking a leg and then kicking and checking the same again.... Just amazing to me!

[@JaredSilva_]

I’m very confident in Conor winning.

[@shaun5047]

I wonder how much Chandler’s getting paid for this fight? Hopefully it’s huge and worth sitting out this whole time. The UFC usually doesn’t up the pay for Conor’s opponents unless it’s a rematch situation.

[@qaching]

This is a fight long in the making We all want to see this

[@JopJio]

Its a lose, lose fight. Chandler is middle class with a 2-3 record. A win means nothing, a loss would be humiliating

[@Fightconnoisseur96]

Chandler is ranked #5 in the Lightweight division. And if you just look purely at numbers you are missing 90% of the context in combat sports. He has 3 losses, but those losses were all hotly contested fights against Oliveira, Poirier, and Gaethje. Instead of exaggerating him having a negative UFC record, actually look at it. He's a good fighter.

[@JopJio]

​​​@@Fightconnoisseur96 not true. Chandler is the Nr. 7 and only nr 6 contender with a 2-3 record and not a single win over a top contender, only old washed Tony and the middle class Australian. And Charles lost to Arman and Islam, Dustin lost to Justin and Justin lost to Max. This shows the Level of Chandler= middle class. A win over Chandler means nothing. But a loss would be career ending.

[@ravenoushydra7948]

[@SAYITHOWITISMMA]

Considering teddy atlas is a boxing coach he noticed that chandlers style was Taylor made for Conor’s old style

[@heisenberg6142]

Doesn’t take a boxing coach to tell that, it’s a dude who walks in swinging like maniac, versus a dude who is a precise counter puncher with incredible distance management. Stylistically the perfect fight for Conor

[@danx3504]

No doubt Chandler will put mcgregor to sleep round 1. Put the bloke into full time retirement
