It’s safe to say Michael Chandler seems to be an interesting opponent for the Irish star in TUF.

Can Conor McGregor return to winning ways upon his return?

The former UFC champion has had a run to forget inside the octagon. He has lost three of his last four fights since 2016. Moreover, the injury he suffered against Dustin Poirier has cost him some valuable time as well.
