Nate Diaz thinks otherwise
Speaking to Mirror Fighting, Nate Diaz shared his thoughts on the ongoing situation and he actually sees Michael Chandler losing to Conor McGregor.
?Chandler?s a nice guy, but he?s not gonna win,? said Diaz.
But following up on the statement, the 38-year-old veteran went ahead to state that he does not believe that the fight will actually take place.
?I don?t think they?re gonna fight, though. I don?t think those guys are gonna fight. Do you think they?re gonna fight? Does anyone think they?re gonna fight? Conor vs. Chandler? They?re not gonna fight.?
When asked about the two?s recent confrontation, Nate Diaz went ahead to say that they have ?no bout argument? and why he thinks there definitely won?t be a fight between the two.
?There?s no bout agreement and just like the BMF, then they have nothing to entertain nobody. They?re like, ?Alright, we gotta bring this guy, we gotta put Conor on TV.?
What lies ahead for the fighters?
McGregor has already missed the deadline to be eligible to have a fight this year and is yet to re-enter the USADA testing pool. This means that the 10-4 UFC fighter is ruled out until 2024.
