Bettors can’t seem to make up their minds when it comes to Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler, who are (finally) scheduled to throw down atop the upcoming UFC 303 pay-per-view (PPV) event, recently made official for Sat., June 29, 2024 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. McGregor has been up, down, and all around the moneyline.
Both fighters are currently deadlocked at -110 apiece across multiple sportsbooks.
McGregor, who turns 36 in July, has not competed since snapping his leg against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 back in summer 2021. As for Chandler, 37, he’s been (voluntarily) riding the pine since his submission loss to Poirier at UFC 281 in late 2022.
They were originally expected to throw down atop the UFC 296 fight card to close out 2023; however, a war with USADA kept McGregor on the bench and forced the promotion to find a new drug testing agency to replace its “untenable” relationship with Travis Tygart.
McGregor has since been tested multiple times.
The McGregor vs. Chandler headliner will be contested across five rounds at 170 pounds, despite the fact that both fighters are natural lightweights. I guess “Notorious” didn’t want to give up any of the contents in his “big fridge” ahead of fight night.
