Former lightweight title challenger, Michael Chandler claims he’s “not worried” by talk of a potential Conor McGregor clash with Dan Hooker, doubting the UFC would be even interested in pairing him with the Kiwi striker over him next.
Chandler, who will snap two-year hiatus from action next month, takes on former undisputed lightweight champion, Charles Oliveira in a five round rematch in the co-main event of UFC 309 at Madison Square Garden, attempting to return to winning ways and avenge a prior defeat.
Last featuring in 2022 in the same month against former interim champion, Dustin Poirier, Chandler was submitted with a third round rear-naked choke in New York — and missed out on a UFC 303 welterweight headliner with McGregor earlier this summer, with the Dubliner fracturing a toe just weeks from the pairing.
