The climate warmed between Conor McGregor e Michael chandler, who are scheduled to face each other on June 29, in Las Vegas (USA), at middleweight (83,9 kg.) UFC. The American, who was captain of a rival team to the Irishman on the reality show The Ultimate Fighter, made serious threats to his opponent in a video published on his YouTube channel.

“It's going to be a great card, it's going to be fun. I will beat Conor in the first two rounds and end his career. I want to get into the Octagon with him, break his will and his jaw, make him black out and shrink. Then we will say goodbye to the greatest star in sports and can happily go on our way,” Chandler said.
