Conor McGregor slid in the comments section to let Michael Chandler know he would be down to face off “at some stage”.

Thank you sir. It would be my pleasure. See you soon.

Based on Conor McGregor’s response, it doesn’t seem like he’s rushing into any fight with Michael Chandler.

Since breaking his leg during the Dustin Poirier fight, McGregor appears to have his sights set on another rematch. But it would probably be more likely that Dana White gives him a smaller bout first.

After Michael Chandler’s performance this past weekend, he’s earned a massive payday for his next fight. And why not give him a shot at Conor McGregor?
