Seeing Dana White and Conor McGregor Make Immense Fortune, Michael Chandler Joins the Bandwagon With His Own Liquor Brand

Michael Chandler has been training hard to face Conor McGregor on his return. However, outside the Octagon, ‘Iron’ is following in the footsteps of ‘The Notorious’ and trying his hand in the liquor business. In a recent YouTube video, Chandler, the owner of many businesses, announced his investment in the Hiatus Tequila brand. 

Before the 37-year-old, Dana White (with Howler Head whiskey) and Conor McGregor also tried their hands in the liquor business and became highly successful. With Chandler entering the industry, it will be interesting to see whether he reaches the same level as them. Let us find out what intrigued the 37-year-old to partner with the brand. 

Michael Chandler explains his partnership with Hiatus Tequila

Michael Chandler recently appeared on ‘The MMA Hour’, giving details about his new venture. Chandler is also a vocal entity outside the Octagon and has successfully started many businesses. However, with the current investment, his direct competition could include McGregor’s whiskey brand: Proper No. Twelve Irish Whiskey. 

Chandler, while speaking to Ariel Helwani, said, “A little over a year ago, I tried my favorite tequila on the planet called Hiatus Tequila, and I knew from the very first sip I wanted more of it but also wanted to be involved more. So I got in touch with the owner and founder Christopher Disoto and I would like to announce I am an investor and owner of Hiatus. So we are setting out to revolutionize and change the view of what tequila is. Just like I’ve always tried to change the view of what a fighter is.”

Chandler is also working hard inside the Octagon to make sure he fights McGregor on his return. The much-anticipated match was scheduled for 2023 but was postponed to later. When will the fans finally see McGregor vs. Chandler?

McGregor broke his leg during his trilogy fight against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in July 2021. During his recovery period, he left the USADA testing pool and did not join back in time. As a result, the fixture in 2023 did not materialize, as he failed to clear two negative tests and the mandatory six-month testing period before the fight.

But the former double champion is back in the pool now and has submitted testing samples. So, will Chandler and McGregor feature at UFC 300? Let us know in the comments below.
