Bryce Mitchell, a seasoned UFC fighter, has recently expressed his doubts about the upcoming fight between Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler.
While the highly anticipated match is expected to take place later this year. There are several question marks surrounding it that have left many fans and experts scratching their heads.
One of the main concerns that Mitchell has raised is whether McGregor will be properly tested for performance-enhancing drugs. As a professional athlete, McGregor is required to be part of the USADA testing pool.
This is designed to detect any illegal substances in his system. However, it’s unclear if he has resumed this testing process yet.
Another issue that has been causing speculation is the weight category in which the fight will take place. McGregor has previously fought in both the featherweight and lightweight divisions. While Chandler is a natural lightweight fighter.
It remains to be seen whether McGregor will cut down to the 155-pound limit or if Chandler will move up to the 170-pound welterweight class.
Conor McGregor goes all out
Despite McGregor’s claims that he is “in the pool” and ready to fight, Mitchell believes that there could be a potential conspiracy at play. He has suggested that McGregor might be receiving preferential treatment and may not be subject to the same level of scrutiny as other fighters.
Overall, there are many uncertainties surrounding the McGregor vs Chandler fight, and only time will tell how it will all play out. However, with experienced fighters like Mitchell raising valid concerns.
It’s important to ensure that all athletes are held to the same standards and rules to ensure a fair and safe competition.
“I think McGregor is on steroids and I don’t think they are gonna test this properly. I think he’ll win on steroids. But if they test them, I think it’ll be a good fight. But if he’s on steroids. It’s still definitely, I’m going. I’m rooting for the American [Michael Chandler].”
Currently, many people believe in Mitchell’s theory. As ‘Notorious’ has been flaunting his impressive physical form on social media for some time now.
However, it seems unlikely that we will receive any confirmation on this matter in the near future. The primary focus is on the upcoming release of the new TUF season, and only after that, we may hear murmurs about Conor’s return date.
What’s your opinion on Bryce Mitchell’s theory? Are you eagerly anticipating McGregor’s return to the Octagon? Do you think he will be able to defeat Michael Chandler?
