In a surprising turn of events, Michael Chandler made a bold appearance on WWE Monday Night RAW following Saturday’s UFC 298 event at Honda Center in Anaheim, California. Amidst the WWE crowd, Michael Chandler seized the spotlight and delivered a passionate promo, captured by MMA Junkie’s onsite coverage.
Addressing the Anaheim audience, Chandler’s intensity peaked as he exclaimed into the microphone, “What’s up, Anaheim? You are now in the presence of the most entertaining UFC fighter on the planet.” With fervor building, he directed his message to a specific individual: Conor McGregor.
“Hey, now there’s a man from Ireland who’s been making me wait way too long, and I still have got one dude on my mind,” Chandler declared, his determination palpable. “Conor McGregor, get your candy ass back to the octagon. We’ve got some unfinished business, boys. God bless. I’ll see you at the top.”
Chandler’s callout of McGregor stems from a long-awaited matchup that has yet to materialize. Despite teases and speculation, the fight remains elusive, particularly due to McGregor’s hiatus following a leg injury in 2021.
While UFC CEO expressed hopes for the Chandler-McGregor bout to occur in the fall, uncertainties persist. McGregor’s other commitments, including movie filming and press obligations, coupled with financial considerations, add complexity to the equation.
As fans eagerly await developments, Chandler’s WWE RAW appearance injected fresh excitement into the potential showdown between two of the sport’s most formidable competitors.
