UFC 247: Conor McGregor responds to Michael Chandler's epic call-out

Conor McGregor has responded to Michael Chandler’s call-out, after the American knocked out Tony Ferguson in an impressive outing at UFC 274.

In an epic post-fight interview with Joe Rogan, Chandler expressed his desires to fight McGregor, saying: “If the UFC have a momentary lapse and give the title shot to someone else, I’ve got one dude on my mind.

“Conor McGregor, I am the most entertaining lightweight on the planet. I want you at your baddest and I want you at your best; you and me at 170lb.”

It seems that the Irishman was impressed with what he saw, expressing his own ambitions to set up a 170 showdown with Iron Mike.

McGregor wrote: “I’d have a nice knock off this guy, no doubt about it. A firework spectacle. I like the 170 shout also. Tipped him over. I’m definitely game to fight this guy at some stage in my career. I see it happening after tonight. Congrats on a solid win Michael and another barnstormer.”

Chandler looked fantastic in his return to the Octagon, brutally knocking out Tony Ferguson with a perfectly timed front kick up the middle.

Could this be a fight we see when McGregor makes his comeback later this year?

Conor is currently recovering from a broken leg that saw him lose his previous bout to Dustin Poirier, but he does look in unreal shape right now.

Chandler has called for this fight on multiple occasions, the spectacle of a bout with McGregor seems to be one that attracts him.

Who wouldn’t want that red panty night!
