It would be insanely moronic to try to wrestle with Chandler, who is an excellent wrestler, and who packs a lot of power in the pocket. He needs to fight from the outside, and pick him apart, like he did with Eddie.
I was able to accurately predict that Cory Sandhagen was going to go full wrestling against Vera (I didn't post my prediction though but did make a bet on Sandhagen via decision cause I thought he would wrestle Vera).
Here's the thing, it is not unprecedented that a fighter completely changes their style after a long lay-off and injury. This has happened with multiple fighters where their style re-adapted with age.
My prediction is that Conor McGregor will become a wrestler. I think the reason for this is plenty, let's first examine the history of McGregor's wrestling before he got injured.
Let's look at the evidence for why Conor might become a wrestler:
(1) He wrestled hard vs. Max Holloway and this was due to a leg injury, he did a lot of takedowns and was very successful in his wrestling. View attachment 1014201
(2) He defended relatively well against Khabib in round 1, which shows he has good fundamentals there.
I think Conor McGregor will pull a Cory Sandhagen. He will evolve from this explosive and dynamic striker into a heavier wrestling offense. I don't think he will wrestle against Chandler because Chandler is a high level wrestler and he can probably beat him on the feet, but against strikers? Like someone like Edwards/Wonderboy? I think we will see Conor wrestle, the other thing is, wrestling might improve Conor's grappling cardio tremendously.
I AM MAKING THE BOLD PREDICTION RIGHT HERE AND RIGHT NOW. MCGREGOR WILL WRESTLE AND HE WILL EVOLVE HIS GAME!

First he has to fight.
Until I see him in the cage, I expect he won't fight any more.
Secondly, he'll most likely react to a fake TD and get clapped by either the same overhead right Khabib threw or the "lunging straight" that Chandler sometimes does (IIRC).
Still, I know nothing, and only "time will tell".
Slow Conor imitating Kickboxing stance/fighters is a washed fighter.
IMHO, ofc.

Your prediction may be right. But, the reason he did well on the ground against Khabib is because he was allowed to knee the head of Khabib when Khabib was a grounded opponent. Otherwise it was would have been a first round submission and possible dislocated arm.
Cocaine rock was giving him endurance before in Nate of Stockton fight number 2, however he was not injecting in his mind the training necessary to truly unleash his wrestling prowess.
Now that he change his strategy, Conor may be ready to test new limits, put his trenning to the test, anavar fail to entertain, thus sustanon his legacy for many much years to come.
