Michael Chandler addresses rumors of fighting Conor McGregor at UFC 300
The highly anticipated UFC 300 event is coming up in a few months but there has been no official announcement regarding the main event for that card. This has led to speculation among MMA fans, who have been trying to guess which two fighters could possibly headline the event.
One matchup that is constantly popping up is Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler. 'Iron' recently appeared on Ariel Helwani's The MMA Hour where he spoke about the rumors of him fighting 'The Notorious' at UFC 300.
The 37-year-old responded by saying that McGregor and his team might be creating these narratives to either play with his mind or just to have fun with the fans.
"I respect Conor and I respect coach [John] Kavanagh. Alright, we're very cordial, right... But these guys are very good at creating their own narrative and throwing little bread crumbs out there... So just remember when they say things, maybe it's true. Maybe it's not true. Maybe they're saying things for the reason of just making people like yourself and all of us speculate and also me speculate... I've seen Conor talk; completely dismissed me and act like the fight with me isn't happening. These are all ways that these guys try to get inside of people's heads. Unluckily for them, your boy's bulletproof."
