Michael Chandler fell to 1-2 on his UFC career this past weekend after a barn-burner with Justin Gaethje. That unanimous decision loss came after a TKO defeat to Charles Oliveira for the UFC lightweight title in May. Chandler, a former Bellator champion, debuted in the Octagon in January with a TKO win over Dan Hooker.
After his loss to Gaethje it didn’t take long for Chandler to pivot to a new match-up. On Twitter the American posted a photo mock-up showing him facing off with former champion Conor McGregor, with a caption simply stating “2022’”.
And the well-crafted photoshop image seems to have gotten the desired effect.
