Michael Chandler can’t seem to make up his mind.
One day “Iron” appears resolute in his decision to wait for Conor McGregor to make his “Notorious” return. Other days, the former Bellator lightweight champion is soliciting high-profile showdowns with “BMF” baddies like Max Holloway.
Or perhaps former UFC welterweight Nate Diaz.
Sit down, Ron… better idea – me and @NateDiaz209 fight like real men, while Conor sits on a yacht and watches on PPV in his slippers. #ufcnoche #riyadhseason https://t.co/VKR7MFAdg2

Luring Diaz back to UFC could take “millions and millions” of dollars.
“The new ‘Where’s Waldo’ — the Mac Daddy had a great run though,” Chandler told Twitter fans who expect McGregor to retire. “Instill fear … let him pull out of the fight and embarrass himself [and I’ll] be known as the guy who retired McGregor without ever throwing a punch.”
McGregor, 35, was expected to fight Chandler atop the UFC 303 fight card last month in Las Vegas, but was forced to withdraw after breaking his pinky toe. A definitive timeline for his “Notorious” return has yet to be determined.
