Michael Chandler has disclosed that his upcoming match against Justin Gaethje is his most cherished in his career so far.

‘Iron’ has had numerous memorable fights throughout his extensive MMA career. As a former Bellator titleholder, he has gone up against top competitors such as Eddie Alvarez, Benson Henderson, and Patricio Pitbull. In 2020, Chandler made his move to the UFC and has continued to impress with each exciting fight.

The lightweight contender has consistently delivered exciting fights since joining the company, but there is one in particular that stands out as his favorite. This was revealed during a recent Q&A session with fans on X, when one asked Chandler to name his favorite fight.

In response, the ex-Bellator champion recalled his fight against Gaethje, which took place at UFC 268 in November 2021. The intense bout, in which a title shot was at stake, saw the two lightweights engage in a fierce battle.

Following 15 minutes of pure chaos, it was ‘The Highlight’ who ultimately came out on top with a unanimous decision victory. Despite the defeat, Chandler considers it to be the most memorable fight he has ever been a part of.

“Michael Chandler Shares His Forecast for the Conor McGregor Fight”

Michael Chandler is aiming to have the upcoming fight against Conor McGregor be the pinnacle of his career.

Ever since his debut in 2021, ‘Iron’ has been pursuing a match with ‘The Notorious’ for more than two years. Chandler specifically requested a fight with McGregor and last summer, the former Bellator champion’s wish appeared to have been fulfilled.

Despite their plans to fight in late 2023, the two stars instead coached a season of ‘The Ultimate Fighter’. However, the highly anticipated fight never materialized. This was due to McGregor’s absence from the USADA pool and his commitment to promoting Road House, resulting in the bout being pushed to the backburner.

Despite not having an official announcement, the two have set their sights on a summer match. Rumors have linked them to a potential showdown at UFC 303 in late June. Chandler remains steadfast in his belief that he will come out victorious, whenever the fight takes place.

During an event, a fan inquired about how the ex-Bellator champion plans to defeat McGregor. In response, Chandler provided a precise prediction, stating:

“2nd round ko”
