UFC 296 Conor McGregor vs Michael Chandler Tickets- When Can The Sales Begin?
Although all indications suggest that McGregor (22-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC) must first re-enter the USADA testing programme, which necessitates two clean tests spread over six months, before stepping into the cage, he still lists Dec. 16 as the target date for his next bout.
Since The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 31’s premiere broadcast, McGregor has been on-and-off about a fight with Michael Chandler. The fact that the show was on everyone’s mind at the beginning made it very heated, but as the weeks passed, the Irish superstar changed his mind (a few times), and most recently, he wanted to combat the new “BMF.”
The UFC’s president, Dana White, told fight fans earlier this week that McGregor will definitely face Chandler next.
That was confirmed by McGregor during the same interview.
