If there is one thing UFC fighters know, it's that talking trash with Conor McGregor is not an easy thing to do. Michael Chandler isn't too worried about it though.
The former UFC lightweight title challenger believes he has the skills to hang with Conor McGregor on the microphone. It's not an easy thing to do and it takes wit, intelligence, and thick skin.
“If the fight happens, we’ll see – you might see a different side of me,” Chandler told ESPN’s “DC & RC” podcast hosted by Daniel Cormier (via MMAJunkie). “I think I’m pretty good at using my vocabulary and my linguistic jiu-jitsu to wrap guys up in some words that they may not understand without having to go to base-level insults or mentioning different things that are going to be damaging to another guy’s reputation. We’ll see. I respect Conor for what he’s done, I respect Conor as a fighter, and I even respect his trash talk game. It is something I’m looking forward to.”
Michael Chandler has not talked trash often but he does have skills on the mic, as we have seen in the UFC so far. The two do have some obstacles to jump through before the fight can be booked.
“He needs to heal up, I need to heal up – we’ll see if that fight happens,” Chandler said. “If it does, it’s definitely going be fireworks inside the octagon, and I can guarantee I can carry my weight outside the octagon on the microphone.”
The UFC has shown some interest in the fight and it's clear Michael Chandler wants it. Conor McGregor wanting the fight is a different story.
