The UFC has witnessed some of the best rivalries in its history. Rousey vs. Tate, Jones vs. Cormier, and Silva vs. Sonnen are a few of them. Every UFC event has generated intense rivalries, which are still remembered by fans. On the other side, several rivalries have never gotten a chance in the UFC ring, and Michael Chandler believes he has one.
In an interview, he stated that he has unfinished business with Conor McGregor. He said:
“He avoids their matchup.”
Here is the complete statement:
I think right now he (Conor McGregor) is trying to wait me out. Would you want to wait as long as possible for a guy like me, who is a real fighter! So that I say, ‘Screw it, I am going to go fight someone else’ and then he can go fight an easier fight.”
As we all know, their rivalry got more intense after The Ultimate Fighter: Team McGregor vs. Team Chandler television series. Both fighters were the coaches of their teams and managed a bunch of fighters for the event. But they haven’t fought against each other in the UFC ring.
Now, the Michael Chandler vs. Conor McGregor fight is not far, and we may witness this quite soon. Till then, let us have some head-to-head comparisons of both fighters.
