‘Pretty Pathetic’: Colby Covington Calls Michael Chandler ‘Desperate Little Bum’ Over Conor McGregor Fight
Chandler, once a rising star in the lightweight division, has been in limbo for nearly two years. He accepted a coaching role opposite McGregor on The Ultimate Fighter 31, hoping to secure a lucrative fight. However, McGregor's injuries and the subsequent cancellation of their UFC 303 bout have left Chandler sidelined.
Despite the setbacks, Chandler remains hopeful for the matchup. Yet, Covington's critique raises questions about his decision. Should Chandler have stayed active instead?
Chandler downplays McGregor's injury
In a recent chat with MMA journalist John Morgan, Michael Chandler shared some optimistic news about his rescheduled fight with Conor McGregor.
Chandler said, “I’ll tell you what, I do love to fight, but I’m a very patient man. Luckily, my life is such that I’ve done so many things outside of just fighting that I was able to sit out and be patient.” Despite the setbacks, he remains hopeful.
He added, “We’re going to stay patient; we’re not going to let him off the hook. Talks are happening between me and the UFC. I know Conor McGregor is going to be ready to come back soon; it’s just a pinky toe, so we’ll see.” Chandler's determination and optimism suggest that fans might see this matchup sooner than expected.
Is Chandler making a smart move by waiting, or should he heed Covington's advice and move on? Only time will tell.
