However, McGregor has proven them wrong by showing his power and relentless training on social media. He has posted videos and photos of him hitting pads, lifting weights, sparring, and running. He has also posted messages of confidence, motivation, and trash talk, as he vows to knock out Chandler in the first round. He has shown that he is in the best shape of his life, and that he is hungry for victory.

McGregor is not only fighting for himself, but also for his legacy. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential fighters in MMA history. He is the first fighter to hold two UFC titles simultaneously, and the biggest star and draw in the sport. He has also transcended the sport by venturing into boxing, whiskey, fashion, and entertainment. He has achieved everything that a fighter can dream of, but he still wants more.

He wants to prove that he is still the king of the UFC, and that he can dominate the lightweight division, which is considered the most stacked and competitive in the sport. He wants to face the best fighters in the world, and to challenge himself against different styles and skills. He wants to entertain the fans, and to create memorable moments and fights. He wants to make history, and to cement his legacy as the GOAT (greatest of all time).

To do that, he has to face Michael Chandler, a formidable opponent who is also eager to make his mark in the UFC. Chandler is a former three-time Bellator lightweight champion, who made his UFC debut in January 2021, when he knocked out Dan Hooker in the first round. He is known for his wrestling, striking, and durability. He is also known for his willingness to fight anyone, anytime, anywhere.

Chandler has been preparing for the fight with intensity and focus, as he trains with some of the best coaches and fighters in the world. He has posted videos and photos of him drilling techniques, doing cardio, grappling, and striking. He has also posted messages of gratitude, faith, and respect, as he promises to give McGregor the toughest fight of his life.
