As Ithethao.vn reported, UFC has officially confirmed the match between Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler. Both will encounter each other at the UFC 303 event, taking place in Los Angeles in late June 2024. However, weighing both competition is not the lightweight as before.
Instead of playing in Lightweight (71kg), Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler will play in Welterweight weight class (77kg). This is one of the evidences that Conor McGregor is currently difficult to force weight, making him unable to squeeze deep in the weight, making a success in the past.
For more than 10 years of playing for UFC, Conor McGregor used to compete in two weight classes, Featherweight and Lightweight. The “scandalous guy” is also one of the first boxers to own the championship at two weight classes at the same time. That helps him not only raise himself, but also promote UFC to the whole world.
In the last time playing at UFC, Conor McGregor only played exactly 1 half. He had to give up against opponent Dustin Poirier due to a broken leg. This injury also made Conor McGregor take more time to return to the competition than expected, when he repeatedly pulled back the re -export schedule before fans.
As for Michael Chandler, this fighter currently has no time as desired since joining UFC. He was arranged to compete for the championship after only 1 victory. But since then, Michael Chandler did not play well, won more than losing and had difficulty in the first group.
