Conor McGregor, who has been away from the octagon, is getting ready to make a comeback and face Michael Chandler. After resolving some long-standing issues with McGregor, Michael Chandler is eager to challenge the current lightweight champion, Islam Makhachev. Recently, Chandler revealed his 12-month plan outlining his future endeavors. Let’s take a look at the details.
Michael Chandler Target Conor McGregor and Islam Makhachev
Michael Chandler, who is slated to fight Conor McGregor upon his return, likely next year, boldly stated his intention to knock out both McGregor and Makhachev. He outlined a 12-month plan, expressing confidence in his ability to achieve these knockouts.
Chandler emphasized his preparedness and determination, signaling his readiness to face McGregor and Makhachev in the near future. On X he said “12 month plan…KO Conor and KO Islam. I’ve calibrated to right where I need to be. Settled in. See you soon boys.”
During UFC 294, Makhachev achieved a remarkable first-round knockout against Alexander Volkanovski, successfully defending his 155-pound title.
With his back-to-back wins over the current featherweight champion, Makhachev is now on the hunt for a new challenger. It’s probable that he will face either Justin Gaethje, the BMF titleholder, or Charles Oliveira, who was initially slated to fight him at UFC 294.
