Conor McGregor will be back in action again this year and is eyeing possible opponents. Of course, he has several challenges, everyone wants to make money and everyone wants to face the Irish star who has made MMA where it is. Now he has accepted one of the challenges, even UFC boss Dana White is in favour of the fight.

UFC 274 offered some famed fights. The men’s lightweight duels were the biggest highlight, with Michael Chandler incredibly finishing Tony Ferguson and Charles Oliveira tightening the hold on Justin Gaethje on a submission.

Both winners have expressed interest in taking on Conor McGregor in the past and it was no different now after their successful fights. However, Chandler has the better chance, having offered the Irish star a welterweight bout.

Among other things, Chandler added that he doesn’t care if the fight happens in the summer, fall, or winter. He wants to meet him either way. In addition, he described himself as the most entertaining fighter in the lightweight division.

What does McGregor say? “I’m definitely up for fighting this guy at some point in my career. After tonight, I can see that clearly. Congrats on a solid win,” he expressed on Twitter.

Among other things, the Irishman admitted that he would like to fight Oliveira as well, as he has never fought the Brazilian. However, he doesn’t want to drop down to lightweight, which, as mentioned, makes Chandler the more likely fight.

The bout is then favored by UFC boss Dana White himself. After all, his words say it all: “Who the hell wouldn’t want to see this fight?”
