Michael Chandler’s much-deserved money fight with Conor Mcgregor has officially been announced, and ‘Iron Mike’ isn’t even bothered the fight will be taking place at 185lbs.
Conor McGregor himself released the news on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter. Looking jacked and sipping on some fine wine, Conor McGregor delivered his message to the world.
“Ladies and gentlemen,” McGregor began. “A happy new year to you all. I’d like to announce the return date for myself: ‘The Notorious’ Conor McGregor. The greatest comeback of all time will take place in Las Vegas, for International Fight Week, on June the 29th… And, the opponent: Michael Chandler. And, the weight, Mr. Chandler: (will be) 185lbs.”
With that, McGregor segued off into an evil laugh, much to the amusement of whoever was recording. With both McGregor and his camerawoman chuckling now, the video ends, and the world has the answer they’ve been waiting for, for eons seemingly.
