Conor McGregor is renowned for being one of the most effective finishers in the UFC, but Michael Chandler, his upcoming opponent, believes he hits harder than the Irishman.
Before their huge summer bout, Conor McGregor has been informed that Michael Chandler, his UFC opponent, hits harder than he does.
The UFC great McGregor is getting ready for UFC 303 on June 29 in Las Vegas, where he will take on Chandler in his first fight in nearly three years.
Although the former two-weight world champion hasn’t competed since injuring his leg against Dustin Poirier in July 2021, veteran coach John Kavanagh says he is looking “very smooth” in the gym.
Despite McGregor’s nearly 20 career knockout victories, Chandler believes he is a stronger puncher than his rival. “I am the guy who deserves it more because I am the stronger, more capable fighter.
I don’t need to engage in combat with someone who possesses a more powerful rifle than I do. Chandler said to Shawn Ryan, “I believe I hit harder than he does.
His time spent outside the cage has, in my opinion, contributed to his lack of previous timing, mobility, and reflexes. I’m going to attack him hard right away in this interaction, making him doubt himself.
If I want to, I can pick him up, put him down, and choke him. Head out there and secure the victory.
After more than a year of waiting for his chance to face McGregor, Chandler intends to get revenge on the Irishman by forcing him into retirement with a victory.
Although McGregor is renowned for his ability to get inside his opponents’ heads, Chandler believes that, with time, his trash-talking abilities have declined.
