Recently, UFC CEO Dana White told the world that McGregor is going to fight Michael Chandler in a main event for June 29, 2024. Furthermore, the fight between McGregor and Chandler is coming after a long break by both fighters.
However, fight fans thought it was a fluke when McGregor casually said it on January 01, 2024 but was not announced officially. After White’s announcement, it became official and he added that it will be a 170 pounds match.
The question is can McGregor win the fight? It appears McGregor’s fans are urging him on.
Pedigree of McGregor
To date McGregor is ranked the biggest star in UFC. Meanwhile, McGregor has not been present in the ring since 2021. From the records, McGregor’s last fight was in July against Dustin Poirier. McGregor broke his leg and since then has not been active in the ring.
It is on record that McGregor is 22-6 and won last in 2016 and fought only four times the same year. McGregor fought last against Floyd Mayweather in 2017. The 35 year fighter is currently billed to win the match between him and Chandler. If Chandler can stay away from his left hand, then he may have a chance to win.
