McGregor Vs. Chandler got a surprise replacement. I’ll take you both down in one night, Conor responded

Dana White wanted to make sure that if one of the pair Conor McGregor – Michael Chandler was injured, UFC 303 would not lose its main event. Therefore, he decided to contact the substitute, who will be on alert on June 29.

The return of the famous Notorious has been hanging in the air for more than two years, but only recently was it officially confirmed with the signing of a contract. This connects us with the date of June 29, when the famous MMA brand will return to the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, which is the home of the biggest fights.

Here, McGregor is set to face former Bellator lightweight champion Michael Chandler, who sat out all of 2023 because of Conor and let the final years of his career slip through his fingers. However, he believes that this wait will pay off financially.

The contract for the match has been signed, but there is still no guarantee that we will see it 100%. After such a long absence, an injury can easily occur, so Dana White tries to prevent any problems by appointing a replacement.

“A reporter asked me if I would be interested in acting as an understudy for the McGregor vs. Chandler. I said I don’t have a problem with it even if it’s at welterweight. I’m back in training after UFC 300 and should be ready by the end of June. Either way, I would like to fight in the summer.” said Charles Oliveira on the Full Send podcast.

“Then I got into a conversation with Dana White and he liked the idea, he said he was going to do something similar anyway. So now we’re just negotiating for me to get a bigger payday if by any chance Chandler drops out and I have to fight McGregor.” he let himself be heard.

“I think once Conor sees that I’m involved, he’ll do whatever it takes to make sure there’s no change. For many years I called for a match with him, but he always avoided me. I think he knows I hold the key to defeating him. That’s why he avoids me,” Charles still managed to dig.

The words of the Brazilian fighter are now circulating on the Internet that it did not escape the attention of the famous Notorious. He answered them in a post on his Twitter. “I can take both of you in one night and not even break a sweat! I’ll even take both of you down in one round. I have magic strikes. Just ask in Rio and São Paulo for my magic.”
