Michael Chandler thinks he is the ideal challenger to The Irishman

Michael Chandler has called out Conor McGregor on multiple occasions in the past. First, after his fight with Dan Hooker and Tony Ferguson, respectively; followed by various such instances. Chandler also believes that his call-outs gained all the required attention. Further, Chandler is pretty sure that he is the ideal opponent for someone like McGregor, who sells PPV “no matter what“.

Chandler said, “I think it’s a fight that would get the juices flowing of the entire mixed martial arts landscape.” He further added, “Conor’s the A-side. Conor’s the guy who sells pay-per-views no matter what. He always does need an interesting dance partner, no matter what. You’re gonna be hard-pressed to find a guy who’s more of an interesting guy with the momentum right now than me.”
