Michael Chandler still optimistic that he will face Conor McGregor
Conor McGregor reportedly failed to enter the United States Anti-Doping Agency testing pool in time to meet the deadline to fight in the last pay-per-view event of 2023. Michael Chandler, who is coaching opposite 'The Notorious' on season 31 of The Ultimate Fighter, believes that the bout will still happen. Speaking to Daniel Cormier, the No.5-ranked lightweight stated:
"There's talks going on and happening basically every single day. I think Conor's coming back. I don't think he wants to stain his legacy by leading us all down this road of, 'I'm doing the Ultimate Fighter, I'm fighting Michael Chandler, oh, by the way, never mind. I'm not coming back'."
Chandler continued:
"Supposedly there was a countdown with USADA, six months, and all that other stuff. That's not for me to choose. Have there been exemptions before? People are talking about exemptions. That's all on the table. I do believe I fight Conor within the next six months and it's going to be one of the biggest pay-per-views that we have ever seen. I'm going to go out there and knock him out within the first two rounds."
Check out Michael Chandler's comments on Conor McGregor below:
It is unclear if McGregor will qualify for an exemption. Brock Lesnar previously received a USADA exemption after coming out of retirement on short notice to compete in UFC 200. Despite the exemption, the former heavyweight champion wound up failing his drug test and had his unanimous decision victory overturned.
If 'The Notorious' is not granted an exemption, he is unlikely to fight until 2024. He last entered the octagon at UFC 264 in July 2021 when he broke his leg against Dustin Poirier.
