So what exactly did Chandler do that messed up McGregor’s mind so much? Well, the former Bellator fighter suggested that he would require no more effort to defeat him as he has much more power than him. He further claimed that McGregor does not lift any heavyweights.

He said on his YouTube handle “He is not stronger than me. So, I don’t need to gain weight, I don’t need to gain any more strength, I don’t need to do any more than what I’m already doing. The dude is not stronger than me. Go out there and show me a video of Conor McGregor lifting heavy, heavy weights. I actually looked before I got on this video; you can’t find any videos of this man lifting heavy, heavy weights.”

Conor McGregor was stunned by Chandler’s obnoxious comments. He took to X to add some tweets about it. At first, he added a laughing emoji followed by continuous slander like “Lifting belts > Lifting weights” and “I can bench press ten chandlers.” In the end, through a tweet, he claimed that their fight is coming to PPV soon.

Both McGregor and Chandler believe that their opponent is a weak sheep, however, the reality is different. “The Notorious” might have it difficult because of no action in years but he has a chance of winning as per Chael Sonnen.

UFC legend believes McGregor has a chance to win

Chaeel Sonnen  is of the belief that the knockout artist needs to secure a victory by stopping Chandler in the opening round. According to him, as the fight progresses, Chandler’s odds are expected to improve. Speaking on his official YouTube channel, Sonnen expressed “Conor has one way to beat Michael Chandler, of which is not gonna matter in the first round.”

He further added “Turns out Conor’s really good at knocking people out in the first round, but that is his only chance. If this sees the second round… you got totally different odds. If this sees the third round, we don’t even have a conversation, for sure Chandler wins. Chandler could lose all ten minutes to get to the third round, but if the third round begins, Chandler wins the fight.”
