I bet Connor’s locked tf inn, I haven’t seen him in a single interview. Just sparing footage looking like a beast

[@ShinyShinyIsAlwaysBeingSerious]

True but this is after he spent the last few years recovering from a broken leg, partying and filming a movie. I hope he shows up because I like Conor, but I am concerned.

[@ulysses2592]

Conor is better but Mike has been so much more consistent. The timing and durability.

[@user-om9bj4rc1g]

Mcgregor gonna stop him with a signature headkick

[@GeeNoniGee]

Yes, as planned, in advance. 🍅🥫

[@ramonsalazar32]

chandler style is made for conor to win

[@kitrismwnili8038]

Right

[@downsouth5971]

See that age like milk left out.... .

[@joshuajohnson4469]

Your absolutely right he a bigger Mendez and Alvarez everyone knows Conor does the best with guys like these Nate Diaz is a hard fight for Conor if your not Diaz your dead

[@cheesyplays6228]

@@joshuajohnson4469 for sure diaz or a dagestane wrestler like islam or khabib although i think conors takedown defence is heavily underated

[@natassjapaterson2562]

Gosh he loves the sound of his own voice.

[@Themangodblessed]

chandler and gaethje should have a CTE pod

[@JamesDeCastro]

Great interview!

[@SW.Rob0578]

I think its a 50/50 fight. Connor coming back from a long time off and Chandler might gas after a couple rounds or Connor might check that chin. Gonna be great no matter what awesome time to be a fight fan💪🏼

[@StanFlacko]

Great interview.

[@tycoon7885]

I can not IMAGINE this fight going beyond 1 round. This fight ends under round 1 and either of these guys could get knocked out. THIS FIGHT IS A BRAWL!

[@Shubham-lw8ni]

Conor performs when there is chip on his shoulder

[@justinchavez2729]

“We’re not here to take part we’re here to take over UFC”

[@impetus9532]

Chandler knows he has literally zero chance of ever winning gold . His resume proves it-he's a one-round fighter with a super low fight IQ, getting mauled by all the top fighters. He's good at beating up old, worn-out fighters like Tony. That's why he called out Conor McGregor; he knows he'll never win gold, so he's just looking to cash in with Conor. It's one loser fighting another loser.

[@JayzBeerz]

Conner gonna knock him out cold.

[@lukajovanovic7310]

Chandler retires him for good :( Sport need Mcgregor to win tho

[@stephenmarkelov1829]

no freakin way lol are you crazy ? hes been gone for 3 years you casuals hes not coming back like the old conor and in the last two fights against dustin he was garbage and getting his ass whooped both fights, Chandler was beatin dustin all the way till the absolute end where he got choked. Chandler TKO 4th round.

[@PenchiSexaa-oj1wp]

You all forgot who conor is😅😅😅😅😊

[@huzizach]

Someone is gonna win

[@arcanewondersfann1567]

@@lukajovanovic7310 You are crazy, Connor will not retire, he has 2 fights in UFC left, after that he will make he's own organization and fight there

[@kennyemm5982]

Biggest comeback in combat sports history 😂😂🤣

[@stephanmac2388]

I feel a Aldo situation coming up 😂

[@enriqueramos8401]

Chandler got no chin, hes cooked

[@willba2817]

The only thing that can make Chandler win is to pray that Conor doesn't get back to his level, pray that he's really finished, because if that's not the case, Chandler risks being knocked out

[@brantleycombs7586]

I can’t wait for this fight

[@lostandlooking]

SEE YOU AT THE TOP

[@Shirtsaysshirt]

3 months of training for a fight is a joke let alone 6-12. Guys used to fight 2 times a night.

[@PoppnRulez]

True. 6 weeks of training is perfect

[@qaching]

@@PoppnRulez why? isn't 3 months training allot better than 6 weeks?

[@PoppnRulez]

@@qaching fighters should be physically fit before fight camp. A 6-8 weeks max for a camp. 3 is over doing it

[@qaching]

@@PoppnRulez is it worse though?

[@tedburycombo2178]

They're both coming out of semi retirement...That much ring rust is gonna fall off em both...its gonna look like they're fighting in red outback of Australia...

[@GavachoToro]

Conor ain’t even showing up for this fight

[@zacharyhullender8663]

Not a single hardcore fan in these comments.

[@rickrossi4468]

GO MICHAEL GO. GOT YOU ALL THE WAY¡!!!!!! 😊

[@michaelevans756]

Conor should have a warm-up fight. Every time he's been out for a while, he's come back and fought a killer. He's coming off a gruesome injury and is gonna fight Chandler. They should have given him someone different. He's a victim of his own success.

[@andrevaldez4402]

Said it perfect. Ppl who say Chandler is a warm up fight need to go back and watch his fights. He almost finished Dustin, gaethje and Charles. Was right there to finishing all 3 of them. But no one talks abt it, they jus talk abt the fact that he lost to them. It’s almost a lose lose for Conor

[@integrativenaturalmedicine3897]

The globe ain't spinning lol. We live in a dome.

[@shokhrukhkhaytimov661]

Chandler is so much overrating himself! His not the most exciting or most whatever the hell he said he is. He is above average, 1st round sprinter. As Arman said “No brain, 1st round fighter”

[@downsouth5971]

Mc hasn't Won since Obama was in power. Suckers keep singing his praise.... lol.

[@TMoney76]

That’s right

[@AdnanKhan-kg6ek]

He's very entertaining...he just doesn't have the fight iq

[@The_Most_Hye]

Chandler is delusional regarding his UFC “legacy”

[@5CRALREADY]

He is on a losing Legacy 😔 😂

[@toddgraham8653]

Micheal is unbelievably delusional and disconnected with reality. As to how many dreams this man had in the night and what his future plans are after this loss are is unknown. I suspect the panty dream isn’t worth it as time passed and really Connor is a drug addict that I’m not supporting on ppv. This is a fight to learn results from the following morning.

[@toddleychaos7698]

I like Mike but he’s sounding so desperate it’s sad. Hyping himself up so much it makes him look weak and clearly Conor is In his head. The thing Mike is tough but he was dropped by everyone besides hooker. Even Tony got him so now he’s facing a guy that is a sniper at finding the chin and is a counter striker so I don’t think it will go the way Mike thinks. They both could gas out too lol if Mike doesn’t try to wrestle it will be over in 2 rounds.

[@tonymaccaroni5744]

Let's see what the experts and prophets say in the comments. 😂

[@GowthamTagore]

Conor will retire Mike.

[@saulskate100]

Even with the date scheduled, the wait is not over. Hopefully this fight finally takes place, but not holding my breath for this fight to actually happen.

[@robinanderson1115]

CONNOR HAS GIVEN THE RED NICKERS 2 CHANDLER, HE'S TAKING A DIVE.( F A C T.)

[@downsouth5971]

What FACT ??

[@saljewsteinbergowitz]

Chandler acting like anyone wants to see him win is hilarious. Everyone wants Conor to win. Chandler needs to stick to what he's best at... adopting little africans
