Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler Timeline
Conor McGregor last fought his long-time rival Dustin Poirier in 2021 at the UFC 264 pay-per-view. The Diamond executed his game plan well, targeting Mystic Mac's legs. By the end of the round, McGregor had snapped his leg, leading to the fight being stopped by doctors. Poirier was declared the winner by technical knockout.
McGregor took a lengthy layoff to recover from his severe leg injury. Meanwhile, Michael Chandler took on Tony Ferguson in 2022. He managed to knock Ferguson out with a powerful front kick and then delivered one of the most iconic callouts in UFC history.
Chandler called out Conor McGregor in a post-fight interview, saying, “Conor McGregor, you’ve got to come back and fight somebody. I am the most entertaining lightweight on the planet. But I want to up the stakes, Conor. I want you at your biggest, I want you at your baddest, and I want you at your best.”
Since then, Michael Chandler has consistently spoken about facing Conor McGregor. Notorious and "Iron" Chandler even competed as coaches on the UFC TUF series.
