Michael Chandler talks Conor McGregor's return

Michael Chandler recently weighed in on Conor McGregor's potential return to the octagon.

'Iron' and 'The Notorious' were meant to face off, but an apparent spat with USADA, McGregor's media commitments to the Road House movie, and an injury to the Dubliner's toe regularly pushed the fight back.

Ultimately, Chandler opted to move on from the fight and the Irishman's future continues to remain up in the air.

Speaking in a recent interview with MMA Fighting, Chandler was asked whether he believes McGregor will ever come back to fighting. He said:

“In my heart of hearts, yes [he comes back]. Because I think he wants to fight. He doesn’t want to finish his fighting legacy the way he has done it. Now, my mind, if you’re a betting man does Conor come back? No. I’d give it a slim chance.”
