American UFC fighter Michael Chandler commented on the moment when former league champion in two weight categories Conor McGregor grabbed his cheeks with both hands on The Ultimate Fighter show.
Look how small McGregor's hands are. That’s probably the biggest reason I barely felt the push. I will say…I hadn’t spent a lot of time around Conor before the show…but that was the first thing I noticed – disproportionately small hands. Even with all the puffiness…very small hands, like a newborn baby’s hands.
