Conor McGregor has expressed interest in a potential showdown with Justin Gaethje following Gaethje’s impressive victory over Dustin Poirier. Michael Chandler shares his thoughts on the matter and remains unfazed by the possibility of missing out on a fight against McGregor.
Conor McGregor Sparks Interest in Showdown with Justin Gaethje
Michael Chandler recently commented on Conor McGregor’s desire to face Justin Gaethje, following Gaethje’s impressive victory over Dustin Poirier at UFC 291. Gaethje’s knockout win secured him the symbolic BMF title, and McGregor wasted no time in expressing his interest in a potential bout with Gaethje. Chandler, however, remains unfazed by the possibility of missing out on a fight against McGregor.
Chandler acknowledged the fickle nature of the MMA industry, where fans and fighters are quick to forget recent performances and jump on the bandwagon of the latest standout performer. He highlighted McGregor’s tendency to insert himself into conversations and expressed his belief that there will always be another fighter who captures the attention of fans and prompts McGregor to tweet about a potential matchup.
Despite McGregor’s comments, Chandler remains unconcerned about the prospect of not facing the Irish superstar. He emphasized his focus on his own career and expressed confidence in his abilities. Chandler’s comments suggest that he is not reliant on a fight with McGregor to solidify his status in the sport.
While the possibility of a McGregor-Gaethje showdown is enticing, Chandler’s perspective offers a refreshing take on the situation. It serves as a reminder that fighters should prioritize their own journeys and not become fixated on potential matchups that may or may not materialize.
