Michael Chandler Takes Aim at Jorge Masvidal Over Unconfirmed Conor McGregor Fight: “I cannot confirm nor deny if I landed on the moon”
Michael Chandler has taken a dig at Jorge Masvidal’s recent uncertain claims. Iron’ is in a tough spot after UFC CEO Dana White dashed the former’s hope of facing Conor McGregor at the UFC White House event.
With White no longer interested in this matchup, there are speculations about who McGregor should face next if not ‘Iron.’ And to make headlines, Masvidal, who retired in 2023 but is itching to return and fight again, recently claimed that he’s preparing for something big. However, ‘Gambred’ didn’t reveal if his next opponent could be ‘The Notorious.’
A few hours back, on The Ariel Helwani Show, Masvidal doubled down on a potential return and how desperate he is to be a part of the UFC White House Card. The former BMF kingpin also revealed that his manager, Ali Abdelaziz, is in talks with the UFC brass, and things are not looking bad right now. However, he didn’t confirm or deny when Helwani asked him if he’s in talks to potentially face the Irishman. The 41-year-old said:
“It’s not looking bad right now. I can’t say too much more, but it’s not looking bad right now.”
