Michael Chandler has called out Conor McGregor to a fight on a new date yet again. The American posted a fan-made poster of UFC 310 with him and the Irishman on the poster. He captioned the post saying, ‘December to remember?’. Well, the latest call-out is not sitting well with the fans, who had enough of the back-and-forth between the pair on social media.
Fans are calling the American out for being ‘desperate’ for the McGregor fight. In fact, this fan even stated that Chandler is practically begging at this point,
“This is begging at this point”

Meanwhile, Chandler is not the only one calling out the Irishman for a fight
Sean O’Malley truly believes that he could beat McGregor
Well if not Michael Chandler, then Sean O’Malley. Despite not having fought for over 3 years, the options are not scarce for the Irishman as he prepares to return to the octagon.
In a recent podcast episode on his YouTube channel, the UFC bantamweight champion spoke about why he is always talking trash to ‘The Notorious’,
“I will chirp Conor, because I do believe I can beat Conor in a fight. I’m not just saying that. I think stylistically I could beat Conor in a fight…Conor’s 5’7, I’m 6’3…he’s thick, but he’s short.”
Sean O’Malley is confident that he would beat Conor McGregor in a fight:

With so many options to choose from, it will be interesting to see who ‘Mystic Mac’ picks as his next opponent. It is very likely Chandler but wouldn’t just be a little bit of a dark joke if McGregor just refuses to fight him and takes on someone else?
