Michael Chandler appeared on the most recent segment of After TUF, following the premiere of episode 4. Team Chandler’s Timur Valiev had beaten Team McGregor’s Trevor Wells to go 4-0 up overall in the competition. While things are going well for Chandler on the show, they do not look the same outside it.
Addressing the McGregor fight delay, Chandler said, “Obviously, you know, it’s unfortunate any kind of stuff going on outside of just the fight game, and of course, there’s the USADA thing going on, looming over everybody’s head. I get it.”
However, the #5 ranked UFC lightweight added, “As far as I’m concerned, the fight against Conor [McGregor] is still happening. Maybe it doesn’t happen by the end of this year, which it still might. But if not, it’s going to be [the] first quarter of next year. Either way, we’re going forward and I’ll separate him from his consciousness within the first two rounds of that fight.”
In the recent podcast episode Covington and Chandler were involved into a discussion of the upcoming fight between Musk and Zuckerberg, Covington somehow flipped the talk and trolled Chandler to McGregor’s fight.
