| Conor McGregor’s Potential Victory |
There is speculation of a huge fight happening this summer, with former UFC fighter Michael Bisping suggesting that Conor McGregor could secure a victory if he faces Michael Chandler. McGregor, the Irish former champion, has been out of the ring for years following his loss to Dustin Poirier, which resulted in a broken leg. Despite his absence, McGregor remains a prominent figure in the world of combat sports, often making headlines with his activities outside the cage. He has recently returned to the drug testing pool and is now in line to fight MMA veteran Chandler on June 28.
Bisping, however, expresses doubts about the fight but acknowledges McGregor’s power. He states, "Does Conor McGregor versus Michael Chandler happen on June 28th at 185 pounds? I don’t know, you never know with McGregor. The T-Mobile Arena website has International Fight Week penciled in, but you never know with McGregor because he talks out of his a***. He lives in his own world and has the power to make things happen. Would it be a good move to fight at 185 pounds? I don’t think so. In the first round, he might be able to knock out Chandler, but afterward, he would be a sitting duck and too tired. McGregor has had stamina issues in the past. He’s explosive and fast, but after rounds two or three, he’s exhausted." Bisping also suggests that McGregor’s return at 185 pounds could lead to laziness and lack of motivation in training.
Despite the uncertainties, Bisping believes there’s a good chance McGregor could knock out Chandler in the first round due to his renowned left hand. However, if McGregor fails to secure a victory early on, Bisping predicts Chandler would dominate in rounds three, four, and five. Regardless of the outcome, McGregor is still expected to generate significant numbers, with the possibility of a Diaz trilogy fight.
