Michael Chandler seemingly teased the fans about potentially fighting at the milestone UFC 300 event. The historic event will emanate from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on April 13 and is expected to feature massive bouts. Well, we might even end up witnessing the return of Conor McGregor as well.
McGregor has been on the sidelines since 2021 following two back-to-back losses to former interim champion Dustin Poirier and suffered a horrific leg injury during the trilogy bout. Meanwhile, Chandler also did not compete in the last year, and his last appearance was in November 2022, also a loss to Poirier at UFC 281.
Michael Chandler vs Conor McGregor at UFC 300?
The main event has not been announced but the UFC CEO Dana White has confirmed several high-profile matchups like Justin Gaethje vs. Max Holloway, Holly Holm vs. Kayla Harrison, Zhang Weili vs. Yan Xiaonan, Charles Oliveira vs. Arman Tsarukyan, Jiri Prochazka vs. Aleksandar Rakic, Aljamain Sterling vs. Calvin Kattar, Cody Garbrandt vs. Deiveson Figueiredo and Bo Nickal vs. Cody Brundage.
More matches will be added as well and it seems that Michael Chandler could potentially feature on the UFC 300 card that too against Conor McGregor. ‘Iron’ is expected to welcome back ‘Notorious’ in the octagon.
Earlier this year, McGregor stated that he expects to fight Chandler in a middleweight bout on June 29 during International Fight Week. However, apparently, he has other plans. Chandler recently took to Twitter/X, showing all the confirmed bouts for UFC 300. Referring to the empty main event slot, he wrote:
“T B D.”
Meanwhile, McGregor took to the platform to suggest that he is the final piece of the puzzle to take the UFC’s 300th numbered event. He wrote:
“McGregor on 300 seals the deal.”
