Considered one of the best boxers of UFC, but Conor McGregor has been silent for too long. Since the broken leg in July 2021, the “scandalous guy” has not been able to return to the octagon cage. There is information that McGregor has to wait until the middle of this year to officially play, with the opponent Michael Chandler.
In the near future, McGregor will also appear next to Chandler at The Ultimate Fighter 31 TV show, but as a coach. The attraction of McGregor with the public has never decreased, but in the eyes of Islam Makhachev, he did not appreciate the return of the Irish boxer.
“If McGregor and Chandler fight, this will be a fascinating match with fans,” Makhachev said. He added: “But in the case of losing Chandler, McGregor only has money, the rest he will lose everything. Chandler is no longer at the peak but he is very smart, playing like a street boxer.”
On McGregor's side, the “scandal” seemed to have been on the other side of his career. He only won exactly 1 time in the last 4 matches. McGregor's bad form and bad body made Makhachev rated him “should retire” if he lost to Chandler, who also lost recently.
During the peak period at UFC, Conor McGregor played in the Lightweight scale like Makhachev. But at this time, the “scandalous guy” did not have the opportunity to confront Makhachev, not to mention the chance to win. McGregor once declared a higher ranking, but this was not feasible to him.
