“I also like the 170 shout. Knocked him over. I’m definitely ready to fight this guy at some point in my career. I see it happening after tonight. Congratulations on a solid win Michael and another Barnstormer.’
Chandler is aware that the likely scenario means McGregor won’t be fighting again until early 2023 given the severity of the broken leg.

“I’m not going to throw stones at the guy. I mean, the guy crushed his leg completely, and that was literally just a year ago. Did people come back quicker than him? Yes, probably, but we also don’t know the extent of Conor’s injury.”
