Michael Chandler believes that he will finally face Conor McGregor in the Ultimate octagon. The American, who participated in a wrestling duel at the RAF event, held last Saturday (29), used social media to reveal evidence that the fight against the Irishman will take place at ' UFC Casa Branca '.

In a video posted to his Instagram stories, Michael Chandler stated that the fight is already underway and that McGregor has started a specific training camp, bringing in coaches and sparring partners to replicate his fighting style. The American also reinforced that the bout is scheduled for June, on the South Lawn of the White House, at a special event promoted by the organization.

“The fight is already going to happen. He brought guys to his camp to imitate my style. I’m going to fight Conor in June on the South Lawn of the White House. God bless,” said Michael Chandler.

Michael Chandler and Conor McGregor have come close to facing each other in the UFC. The veterans were coaches on the 32nd season of TUF and were scheduled to share the octagon in the main event of UFC 303. However, on that occasion, the Irishman was forced to withdraw from the fight due to a little finger injury , and the duel ended up being replaced by the rematch between Alex Poatan and Jiri Prochazka.

While Michael Chandler has accumulated three consecutive losses in the UFC, the reality in wrestling is quite different. In the main event of RAF 3 in Chicago (USA), the athlete dominated Chad Mendes , a former fighter in the world's largest MMA organization, and secured a victory by points.

Despite having less experience than his rival in the sport, Chandler knew how to use his strength and speed to quickly open up a three-point lead. The duel was interrupted several times by the referee due to an illegal eye poke and headbutts, which left Mendes with swelling near the area. In the end, each still scored one more point, but the American's solid performance maintained the final result.

Although Michael Chandler is the most likely opponent to face Conor McGregor in his return , the American has recently gained a strong competitor.

In a statement on Daniel Cormier 's YouTube channel , Arman Tsarukyan surprised fans by discussing the possibility of facing the Irishman, but expressed doubt about Notorious's courage in doing so.
