Recently, Beneil Dariush gave an interview to The Schmo, where he predicted the match between Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler.
Benny said, "He might actually be training really hard whilst posting a bunch of stuff where he's partying in a way to confuse his opponent. In a technical fight where both guys are at their best, I think Conor should win because his counterstriking is perfect for a guy like Chandler."
Michael Chandler and Conor McGregor will square off at UFC 303 main event. The pay-per-view is set to take place on June 29, 2024, at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada, part of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Area, United States.
Michael Chandler Reveals His Gameplan Against Conor McGregor
Michael Chandler recently appeared on The Shwan Ryan Show, discussing his strategy against excellent strikers like Conor McGregor.
Michael Chandler expressed, "I would say he's the better striker from a crisp, longer, more sniping standpoint. He's got that great step back left. He has had great success with guys who aggressively fight him and are slightly shorter than him. Stocky wrestlers with an overhand, he calls it. You know, there was Khabib, there was Chad Mendes, there was Eddie Alvarez."
Michael Chandler further said he would fight more tactically against Conor McGregor as he is the one he needs to win and is the hungry one.
