ASA Heavyweight Champion Evgeny Goncharov said he would not be surprised if the Irishman Conor McGregor I don’t want to fight an American Michael Chandler and will choose a more passable opponent.
McGregor and Chandler were scheduled to meet in the Octagon in the main event of UFC 303 in Las Vegas on June 29. But this fight was canceled due to the Irishman’s injury.
“I was not surprised by the reports that the battle failed. After all, even before the official reports, there were reports that the fight would be canceled. And then it was hard to believe in this fight. McGregor is very unstable now – maybe he really was injured, or maybe something else. Because videos and photos of his “vacation” have appeared. It was clear then that he was unlikely to fight. After he got injured, he may have realized he could start getting high. Will he return to combat? Hard to say. If he wants, he will come back. The question here is desire: why do we need it? Chandler is on a losing streak, but he is a strong fighter; he wouldn’t be a gold medal or pass for Conor. Maybe Conor will come out of this fight and want to fight a more passable opponent. Let’s see. Or maybe Conor won’t want to fight anymore. With his money and abilities, it is already difficult to prepare for discipline and preparation,” Goncharov told .
During his career in mixed martial arts, the Irishman achieved 22 victories and suffered six defeats. McGregor’s last fight took place in July 2021.
