Media Michael Chandler Teases UFC 300 Main Event Return vs Mcgregor - UPDATE Mcgregor CONFIRMS he wants UFC 300 Main Event

[Black9]

If they can pull this off, it'd be a massive card alongside the rest of the card
Would this satisfy your guys expectations for UFC 300?

Mcgregor vs Chandler
Zhang vs Yan
Max vs Gaethje
Charles vs Arman
+others
Would all be barnburners and could be one of the most action-packed cards in a VERY long time




UPDATE- MCGREGOR CONFIRMS HE ALSO WANTS TO BE APART OF UFC 300

 

[Domitian]

It's nice to have dreams.

 

[SamuraiBro]

Watch it not be Chandler vs McGregor and then Chandler goes on another podcast talking about waiting for this fight and that it’ll definitely happen one day!

 

[podsox]

It’s a clear option. I’m sure they negotiated Weili to hard number and no ppv points. So it leaves a Conor card open ended

"See you at the top!"

~ Chandler, 2-3 in the UFC

Wins = Hooker, Ferguson
Losses = Oliviera, Gaethje, Porier

Lets see Cruz vs Aldo both with proper retirement montages after the fight to start the night as the event opener.

I want cub/Billy q to open the show. A Just bleed/fun fight

Fight is meaningless at 185 ….means zero

 

[IronGolem007]

Chandler is dangerous, but McGregor is the manlet destroyer.

60/40 favoring McGregor by KO

 

[TrueBias]

Wouldnt be surprised if it's TRUE. Conor is healthy, no reason to delay truthfully, and hes not been on 100 or 200. Need something big.

No negotiations needed. As far as I know very few female champs get PPV points (depends on their popularity like Ronda). Same with male FLW for example. DJ talked about defending the title for ages until a new contract with PPV points was negotiated. Figgy famously talked about not getting PPV points as well.

Being champ isn't an automatic guarantee for a cut of the PPV, at least not below the male BW division. I'm willing to bet Weili isn't anywhere close to getting PPV points.

To be fair, its meaningless at 155 too, it happens to be a banger of a fight, that happens to mean shit, Chandler isnt exactly in line for the title, Conor isnt even ranked at this point i think, meaningless.

Meh doesn't matter what weight class. this fight isn't meant to be meaningful I don't think they are going for that.

You really think they wouldn't streamline Mcgregor to a title fight against Islam with how much the Khabib one made? lol

Funny enough saw some random post on FB that they're going to be the main event, at 165..With Dana announcing the introduction of 165, and 175 lbs titles...Could you imagine after it's been an actual talked about subject for a while amongst the fans they actually did that and conor of all people is the inaugural title fight for one of the belts...

 

[Prince Nephilim]

Pretty lackluster card but so was 200. It’s looking more like a old UFC numbered stack card.

To be fair 200 was at least supposed to have Jones vs DC. But we all know how that ended up falling through. Conor was also intended to be on the card but got pulled when he supposedly blew off some press events leading to the card. This one hasn't even had big fights on it yet of that magnitude to have fallen through.

 

[FlyingDeathKick]

please no, Conor vs Masvidal instead

 

[Shogun515]

It would definitely save the card in terms of hype.

Ohh I’m sure they would ….But Connor dragging 5’2 Chandler up to 185 is cowardly
