Dana White explains why Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler will live up to the hype around it
Dana White recently discussed the highly anticipated Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler fight and explained why he believes a bout between those fighters will live up to all expectations.
During a recent interview with The Mac Life, the UFC president showered praise on McGregor and Chandler while outlining what made this matchup "fun." He stated:
"When you're going into a fight like this, it's all the questions. You have these fights where you're like, 'I know this guy's going to come in and walk right over this guy, so it's not fun.' That's not the case with this thing."
He continued:
"When you take Conor's layoff, his injury that he recovered from, trying to get back on top. And Chandler and how tough and durable he is and how the guy never quits and just keeps coming. Both guys have the ability to knock people out with one punch, the wrestling factor, the this, the that. All those questions are what makes this fight so fun."
