Nate Diaz Advises Conor McGregor to Skip Michael Chandler Fight; Suggests an Alternative UFC Comeback Opponent<\/p>\n
Conor McGregor<\/a> has been out of action since his leg injury at UFC 264<\/a> in July 2021. However, his fans are eagerly awaiting his comeback fight. While Michael Chandler was initially lined up as his opponent, Nate Diaz<\/a>, another celebrated UFC fighter, has expressed disinterest in this matchup. Instead, Diaz proposes a different opponent for McGregor’s return to the octagon.<\/p>\n Nate Diaz recently shared his thoughts on Conor McGregor’s comeback bout with Mirror Fighting. Despite acknowledging Michael Chandler<\/a> as a “nice guy,” Diaz firmly believes that Chandler doesn’t stand a chance of winning against McGregor. Moreover, Diaz seems convinced that the fight between McGregor and Chandler is not likely to happen at all.<\/p>\n Conor McGregor, on the other hand, appears to have shifted his focus away from a potential showdown with Michael Chandler. After Justin Gaethje’s impressive knockout victory over Dustin Poirier at UFC 291, McGregor called out Gaethje<\/a> as his desired opponent. Diaz, too, endorses this matchup, emphasizing that it would be an exciting clash, particularly since Gaethje is running out of options for opponents after his BMF<\/a> title win.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udea8 Justin Gaethje responds to Connor McGregor\ud83d\udea8 #UFC291<\/a> #UFC<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/BnN3VwFnwY<\/a><\/p>\n — NoSmokeSport (@NoSmokeSport) July 30, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nDiaz Dismisses Chandler Fight<\/h2>\n
