Michael Chandler is one of the most entertaining and violent contenders in the UFC lightweight division today. Despite losing three of his five bouts under the Las Vegas-based promotion, his star power is undeniable. Because of his relentless and aggressive fighting style, he became a fan favorite in online sports betting through the UFC odds, as he always displays spectacular performances.
This star power has allowed Chandler to fight the other top contenders in the stacked 155-pound division, and at one point, he even fought for the world title but just came up short. The question now is, when will “Iron” Mike return inside the Octagon? And who will he face next?
When is Michael Chandler’s Next Fight?
Michael Chandler’s next confirmed opponent will be Conor McGregor, as they face each other later this year, which will headline a UFC pay-per-view event. Chandler and McGregor were also named as the new coaches for the 31st season of The Ultimate Fighter.
