Chandler teases fans who ask about a monumental UFC matchup.
In light of Conor McGregor pulling out of the UFC 303 event and leaving Chandler on ice, some fans have suggested an alternative matchup for the former Bellator champ: Max Holloway.After Chandler hinted at 'big things' in a June 20 tweet, a fan proposed a Chandler vs. Holloway matchup, andFans and pundits are uncertain whether McGregor will make a 2024 return at all, but there's been no bigger victim of this uncertainty than Chandler.
Chandler's five performances in the UFC are all-time great fights, especially against Dustin Poirier and Justin Gaethje. Fans have been robbed of the chance to see more classic Chandler UFC performances, but a fight with Holloway could rectify that.Holloway's star power couldn't be higher after his viral KO over Gaethje at UFC 300. The only caveat is his title contention at featherweight.
Would you rather Holloway choose legacy and hold out for a Topuria title fight, or the money fight in Chandler?Mathew is a UK-based combat sports journalist and graphic designer.
