Media Michael Chandler gives update on Mcgregor fight; doubles down with McGregor on calling for patience

He would blow Conor at this point to have that fight.

And don't get me wrong, I applaud Chandler for trying, it was a good try, first compliment Conor on every turn, make your style of fighting exciting for Conor as well, be respectful, Conor likes that, Conor catches the bait, he has one night of confidence while on meth and booze and goes for the TUF show, promotes the fight but it was known from the start he has no confidence left to actually take that fight. Who knows, on another coke binge he might sign the contract and Chandlers efforts will pay off.

Pretty blunt, I dig it sir lol.
 
He's waiting at minimum a year form his last fight (November 2022) and likely longer. At the age of 37, he's running out of time and he knows it. In 3 years time he won't be fighting anymore.

Tough spot for Chandler. At this point taking a fight in like 2 months, hopefully winning, then trying for the Conor fight again might be the best move.
 
Mcgregor is mashed potatoes
He ain’t even moving needle for TUF
He needs some more assaults
 
Chandler should just straight up by a whole orphanage down in Mississippi. He might guilt Conor into signing.

Meh if I was Chandler I would use the "Conor is scared" angle and talk shit about him in interviews. He's played the nice guy already and it clearly hasn't worked. Conor does his own thing and doesn't give a shit. Might as well taunt him and try get the competitive dog inside of him to come out.

Being nice and licking his boots in hopes the fight happens is pathetic.

It’s good to know that being respectful is kissing but and bootlicking. When hasn’t Chandler been respectful. He hasn’t changed his personality for Connor one bit. I guess if he became a fake bad guy then everyone would be down for that. Pathetic.
 
This is a really sad situation.

Embarassing for Conor.

Yeah Chandler isnt gonna gain anything by insulting Conor at this point. Conor already doesnt seem to want the fight,and Chandler doesnt need to screw himself any further. Chandler wants that pay day. He will wait for it,despite Conor's unprofessionalism.
 
Conor should be in prison if he didn't have money to dodge the 5-6 sexual assault accusations, so i'm not too pressed by whether he fights again, that all seems rather secondary to him wrecking people's lives and getting away with it. But hey, if you think your personal entertainment means more than right or wrong, congratulations you're aiding the ruination of society and humanity as a whole.
 
Hopefully chandler gets compensated by the ufc in one way or another

If he gets screwed.... then he should have zigged when he zagged

There has been an overwhelming amount of stress placed on Michael Chandler to do what he can to make the McGregor fight happen as there is a lot of money on the table.

Daniel Cormier has already laid it hard on Chandler that he can't let the bout fall through and needed to do whatever he has to in order to convince McGregor to fight:
Daniel Cormier: Chandler can’t let McGregor bout ‘fall by the wayside’ (usatoday.com)

Daniel Cormier to Michael Chandler
"Do whatever you have to do in order to keep this fight together because this is a fight that can really make you at a level that no one else in the fight game can do.”

Chandler seems to have decided to take the sweet approach in trying to convince McGregor to fight him. McGregor released a now-deleted tweet in which he called everyone peasants and that they needed to be patient.

Chandler has now backstepped from calling out McGregor and demanding that he fights and instead has doubled down Mcgregor's messaging that fans need to be patient and wait it out.

After filming tuf with Chandler and realising the guy is just going to take him down makes him want to fight less.

It is also looking like Conor is going to win 1 fight at most in the first round. Could be the first ever whitewash in TUF history. Conor's comments look like a bit of a joke when watching.
 
"Patience, peasants!"
There's such a thing as too much patience, like when someone is a spoiled coward who lost their edge.

He's turning 35 in a few weeks. Tick tock, baby. Can't keep ducking everyone forever and pretending to be a fighter.
 
Mike needs to pick a fight. This whole nice guy schtick isn't working.
 
If Conor actually wants the fight, my only guess is it's already in the works to make it for UFC 300. If he had gotten in sooner and scored a W on Chandler sooner he could challenge for the 155 or 170 title at UFC 300 and that was probably his initial thought. Nothing else really makes sense.
 
Chandler is doing it all wrong. Kissing Conor's ass isn't gonna make Conor fight. Conor had ZERO intention of fighting when he agreed to TUF. Call Conor what he is, a pussy. He has no confidence in his injury healing plus he knows Chandler would fuck his head up worse than anyone else right now. Playing nice with Conor only works when Conor knows he will win. When the outcome is in doubt, hold a mirror up and expose Conor for the coddled fraud he is. Who has Conor really beaten? A short notice Mendes, a fluke shot on Aldo, an Alvarez who gave in to the hype and wilted, a bullshit decision over Diaz after getting fucked up in the first fight, and win over a way past his prime Cerrone who was there for the paycheck.

Conor is nothing more than a mirage that Dana and the UFC hyped and carefully marketed and matched against opponents. He isn't an elite fighter by any stretch. He is a brash loudmouth that learned to talk his way into preferred easier fights. What happened when he took fights with fighters with equal or better skills? He got starched. He got mauled. He got fucked up. He got injured. Chandler would give him permanent brain damage. But kissing Conor's ass isn't gonna work any better than making fun and pissing him off will. All it does is make Chandler look weak and a beggar. Fuck Conor. Tell Conor after you whup his ass you're gonna celebrate by knocking Dee up and put an apron on Conor's bitch ass and put him in the kitchen where he belongs. Challenge his manhood enough and he will fight. Surely Conor would defend the mother of his kids, right? He did it for Artem and threw dollies. If Conor doesn't defend his old lady's honor, Conor will hear it from her and she will nag and grate on Conor like most women do.

Cut a promo from a bar and remind him that it's easy to punch old guys who don't hit back. Challenge Conor's manhood every chance you get. A real fighter will only let so much go before they are ready to throw. Attack Conor's country and say how outside of Conor, all Irish fighters suck and are pussies. The pressure will come from those around him pushing him shut Chandler's mouth. And if Conor doesn't, the allure that he is a bad ass and "fights anyone anywhere anytime" whithers away.

That shit ain't gonna work on Conor. If he won't fight Chandler as is,when everything is comfortable and easy,he will not fight him out of spite if he tries that shit. Leon edwards before he became champ did what he could to draw masvidal out and it didn't do shit.


The A side don't need you.


Plus we already know Chandler ain't that kinda guy.
