Former Bellator lightweight title holder Michael Chandler, who is set to debut under the UFC banner very soon, is confident that the fight with him could be a serious test for ex-UFC champion in two weight classes, Conor McGregor.
“Of course I want to fight Conor McGregor,” the American told ESPN. “Do I think he is perfect for me as an opponent? Certainly. With my wrestling base, knocking out power in my hands, the ability to combine punch and takedowns, picking up the pace, I’m Conor McGregor’s real nightmare. But I respect what he does. He is a real master in his element and he keeps getting better. “
Recall that both fighters will fight on January 23 at UFC 257 in Abu Dhabi. A rematch of Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier will lead the event, while Michael Chandler will face Dan Hooker in the second most important event of the tournament.
