Former UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya reacted to Dana White's recent interview in which the head of the promotion said that Michael Chandler will wait to fight Conor McGregor.
Recall, Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler were scheduled to headline the UFC 303 tournament, which will take place on June 30 in Las Vegas (USA), but the Irish fighter withdrew from the event due to injury.

I think that fight is going to happen regardless (McGregor vs. Chandler). Chandler should wrestle (in the meantime), and that's even better for him, win or lose, because he'll still get more reps. Take a fight regardless. That fight with Conor will always be there because they both faced each other on TUF, beef.
Chandler, 38, last fought in November 2022 at UFC 281, losing to Dustin Poirier via third-round choke. He has 23 wins and eight losses on his record.
McGregor, 35, last stepped into the octagon in July 2021 at UFC 264, losing to Dustin Poirier by technical knockout in the first round. He has 22 wins and six losses on his record.
