I never said that, not once, man. That's what happens when you do an interview and people listen with one ear. I was asked, "Who would you like to see as Conor's opponent if he fights now?" I replied, "A fight with Chandler would be fun." I didn't say that organizing a Conor vs. Chandler fight was going on. I don't even know when McGregor is coming back.
McGregor, 34, had his last fight at UFC 264 in July 2021 against Dustin Poirier. That fight ended with Poirier's victory by TKO in the first round. He has 22 wins and six losses under his belt.
In his last fight Chandler faced Dustin Poirier at UFC 281 in November 2022. That bout ended with Poirier winning by choke in the third round. Last May, at UFC 274, Chandler defeated Tony Ferguson by TKO in the second round. The 36-year-old Chandler has 23 wins and eight losses on his record.
