Michael Chandler questions if Conor McGregor really wanted to fight him or not
Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler were the two coaches on the latest season of TUF. When the announcement was made, it was revealed that as a part of the tradition of the show, the two will square off inside the octagon upon its completion.
However, during a recent media scrum at UFC 292, Michael Chandler questioned if 'The Notorious' really wanted to fight him when he signed up for TUF. He said:
"Ultimately, yeah maybe he realized, 'Well I decided to do this reality show against this guy that I hope I don't want to fight. Or that I hope I don't have to fight.' Then it turns out that, like, 'Well now I kind of agreed that I was going to fight this guy and I kind of look like a sissy if I back out from fighting said guy.'
"I said it from the beginning, I gave Conor kudos at the beginning... because I'm not an easy fight, [Conor] knows I'm not an easy fight."
