The Irishman will face the American fighter in the UFC soon after The Ultimate Fighter season 31 concludes, as confirmed by UFC president Dana White in February. Thus, contrary to these recently published images, a genuine showdown is imminent, most likely occurring in September according to the most recent reports.
In a recent interview, the former two-division champion stated that he and Michael Chandler have mutual respect for one another, though he did not attempt to downplay the rivalry that exists between them. When the 34-year-old fighter finally faces Chandler in a fight, he promises to be as ruthless as possible.
