Perhaps the fight of the night on the jam-packed UFC 268 card was Michael Chandler vs. Justin Gaethje.

The two strikers traded blow for blow throughout the entire three round fight, with Gaethje winning the bout via decision.

On Monday, Michael Chandler made a hint at another marquee matchup, calling out Conor McGregor for a potential fight in 2022.

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

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?
