Michael Chandler has expressed doubts about his upcoming fight with Conor McGregor, which has faced multiple delays due to McGregor's injury and absence from the Octagon for over three years. Chandler, reflecting on his mental preparation, shared that his inner voice questions whether he deserves the fight, despite his belief in his worthiness. He emphasized the importance of acknowledging personal struggles and doubts, stating that it is more genuine to be open about such feelings. With the fight initially announced in February 2023 and now tentatively rescheduled for UFC 310 in December, Chandler has remained patient but is contemplating other opponents if the bout does not materialize soon. He acknowledges the financial implications of waiting and the significance of fighting McGregor, the UFC's biggest star. As Chandler continues to train, he is prepared to move on if necessary but remains hopeful for the matchup.
