I have fought against that self for many, many years.” However, McGregor believes that Michael Chandler has earned his position and status in the MMA world. “Michael obviously was with a smaller promotion and then he walked his way up his fights. He’s had some excellent fights, and he’s earned his right to be in this position,” said McGregor.
But the Irishman claims that he will show Michael Chandler the level he is in, on fight night. He said, “It will be my job on fight night to show the levels and show that there is a much higher difference in skill level here and that’s it.”
