Video: Michael Chandler finally gives up on Conor McGregor fight. Right call?

Michael Chandler Conor McGregor UFC Charles Oliveira Dana White Jon Jones Stipe Miocic

After almost two years, Michael Chandler has decided to move on from his fight against Conor McGregor.

You read that right. Chandler (23-8 MMA, 2-3 UFC) is officially done waiting for McGregor (22-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC) after he was booked to rematch Charles Oliveira in the co-main event of UFC 309 in November. It was one of several bouts announced for the event headlined by a heavyweight title fight between champion Jon Jones and challenger Stipe Miocic.

Did Chandler make the right call by moving on from the McGregor fight? How will he fare against Oliveira (34-10 MMA, 22-10 UFC)?

MMA Junkie’s Farah Hannoun, Mike Bohn, Danny Segura, and host Gorgeous George discuss the latest with Chandler, as well as the Jones vs. Miocic bout headlining UFC 309.
