Michael Chandler hailed Conor McGregor as one of the scariest fighters in the UFC
With Conor McGregor a potential opponent in the future, Michael Chandler expressed his honest opinion of the Irishman in a recent interview.
Speaking on a talk show called Breakaway, Chandler offered his thoughts on the difference between his and McGregor's fighting style:
"I think we are both fast starters. I'm more of a, like I said, foot on the gas, get in your face, no brakes, feel my presence, feel my pressure, feel my power right away. Whereas Conor is more... little bit more wide stance, in and out... so I think our styles match up really well."
Furthermore, the Missouri native hinted that his wrestling advantage may not be enough because of McGregor's confidence and mental strength:
"Obviously, I'm more of a... I do have a higher pedigree in wrestling. People would expect me to go out there and fight and take him down. But you also saw how Chad Mendes took him down. [McGregor] lost the first round... came back, finished him... Conor is probably one of the mentally tough, most mentally confident men on the planet and that's a scary guy to fight."
