News confirmed! Conor McGregor vs. michael chandler It’s finally happening!
Days after The Notorious told reporters he would fight Iron Mike this summer, 37-year-old Chandler joined Babcock at the “TMZ Sports“ TV program (airs weekdays in FS1) … and we asked him if McGregor was being sincere or just blowing smoke.
“I got the official announcement. It’s happening this summer,” Chandler said, adding, “I can’t tell you the actual date, but it’s happening this summer!”
We continue… so it’s official?!
“We have an agreement. We are fighting this summer.”
Ears, know the music.

Of course, the fight between Michael and Conor has been ongoing forever… since mid-2023, when the men trained head-to-head on “The Ultimate Fighter.”
So, Conor the trainer has been relatively active… but not necessarily the fighter. That’s because, in addition to filming the long-awaited remake of “Road House” (which was released yesterday on Prime), McGregor was also recovering.

Remember, McGregor horribly broke the leg during his fight at UFC 264 with Dustin Poirier in July 2021. That was his last fight.
As for Chandler, he also last faced Poirier… in November 2022.
In short, both men are ready to return to the Octagon… and while the date isn’t publicly known, it’s not that far away (check out the clip – we also talk about which weight class the fight will be contested in.)

“It’s been an interesting trip. It’s been a fun trip. That’s what I signed up for. But now we’re getting close, man. We’re getting really close. He’s starting to train. I’m starting to train and we’re going to collide this summer, so It will be really fun.”
