Brazilian UFC fighter Charles Oliveira has spoken out about the upcoming bout between former two-weight champion Conor McGregor of Ireland and Michael Chandler of the United States.
Recall that McGregor and Chandler will meet in the octagon after the 31st season of The Ultimate Fighter reality show, where the fighters appear as team coaches.
Charles Oliveira
I don't think McGregor will win. He's great to promote and people like his fights, but I don't think he'll win. Yes, I think Chandler is an explosive fighter. McGregor hasn't fought in a long time, so I believe Chandler will win.
McGregor hasn't fought since July 2021, when he lost by TKO to American Dustin Poirier. Recall that Conor broke his leg in that fight. He has 22 wins and six losses under his belt.
The last time Chandler faced his countryman Dustin Poirier in the Octagon was in November 2022, at UFC 281. In that match, Michael was defeated by a choke in the third round. He has 23 wins and eight losses under his belt.
