Michael Chandler has praised Conor McGregor‘s business acumen following the announcement that McGregor has become a co-owner of BKFC, but Chandler still plans to defeat him in their upcoming UFC 303 main event.
So, here’s the deal. Michael Chandler’s tipping his hat to Conor McGregor. Why? The man’s got business smarts. But here’s the twist – Chandler’s all set to knock McGregor flat on his back at UFC 303.
Saturday night was a big one. The BKFC KnuckleMania 4 event had a surprise in store. McGregor, in partnership with his McGregor Sports and Entertainment promotion, is now a co-owner of BKFC. Yeah, you heard that right.
This news hit like a ton of bricks. The crowd in the arena, the folks watching from home, everyone was shell-shocked. Chandler? He couldn’t help but react on Twitter.
Chandler’s tweet read, “Conor out here making moves…hate it or love it, the dude is making stuff happen. With that being said, I KO him within 10 min on June 29 at #UFC303 @TheNotoriousMMA.”
The McGregor-Chandler fight? It’s been brewing for a while. Even before they were announced as coaches on the latest season of The Ultimate Fighter. Everyone’s been on tenterhooks, wondering when, or even if, it’s going to happen.
Finally, Dana White, the UFC CEO, broke the suspense. The announcement came at the UFC 300 post-fight press conference earlier this month. So, there you have it. The stage is set for a showdown.
