After Conor McGregor announced his return on June 29, people have started to predict as to how the fight would end. However, no official announcement regarding the battle has been made, the fans are already waiting to see the much-awaited fight between the two. During the interview, Schaub was asked about the fight, to which he replied: “This fight by no chance goes the full five rounds or three rounds whatever the hell they decide to do. They are going to hit much harder having you know more weight. Their chins are going to be a little better. But there’s somebody’s getting knocked out. Them being this heavy, this strong 85, they are both going to be a lot slower but going to punch harder, so there are no chances, and cardio is going to be worse. So no chance these two let, especially the way Chandler fights. Regardless of what weight, there’s no way this goes the distance.”

However, it will be interesting to see whether the UFC makes any official announcement regarding the fight soon. 

Will the fans finally get to see Conor McGregor vs Michael Chandler? 

Chandler has been fighting in the 155-pound lightweight division since 2011 and will now have to put 30 pounds to make the weight. The former two-division champion is known for his mind games, and pushing Chandler to the middleweight division might prove to be a masterclass. 

‘The Notorious’ was last seen inside the Octagon against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264. He not only lost the fight but also suffered a significant leg injury, which put him out of action for more than two years. It will be interesting to see if the former two-division champion is the same fighter he was in 2016. With no official announcement made by the UFC, will the fans get to see the much-anticipated fight? Let us know in the comments below.
