Michael Chandler didn't give an honest answer about his intentions regarding Conor McGregor's foot injury – 'to make him look better'

Remember brock lesnar versus alistair overeem• In the 2011 UFC 141 heavyweight main event, Lesnar was eliminated in the opening round by Overeem after kicking him in the middle. Lesnar had undergone diverticulitis surgery a few months before the fight and had a leg of his colon removed. Therefore, it was no surprise that his opponent targeted his midsection. Lesnar retired from MMA after this fight (with the exception of his return to UFC 200). Now, will we see Michael Chandler send Conor McGregor out the same route at UFC 303?

As UFC 303 approaches; conor mcgregor versus michael chandler Conflicts seem to surface regularly. UFC experts all want to bake a bigger cake and are offering their input to capitalize on the increased interest. McGregor's foot injury has been the center of attention in this fight. Three years removed from UFC 264, the Irishman should be fully healed, but is his foot a potential target for all of “The Mack's” future opponents?

Will Michael Chandler aim for Conor McGregor's leg?

Former UFC star chel sonnentackled this topic on his YouTube channel. He provided analysis of Michael Chandler's recent statements in an interview with Ariel Helwani. In a recent interview with Ariel Helwani, Michael Chandler spoke about whether he would target Conor McGregor's injured leg. Chandler said he doesn't plan to focus on that specifically. This reaction seemed to irritate Chel Sonnen.

He said, “That's an odd question to ask someone. It's a strange question to bring up, and it's always an interesting response from a psychological point of view because men don't give a truthful answer. ” he added, “He replied that he decided it would make him look better.”As a former UFC fighter himself, Sonnen believes he understands the best mind games in martial arts.

Sonnen later said: “That's a fighter's job and responsibility to the fans and promoters.'' He continued, “Your job is to beat the guy, and the first criterion to beat him is damage. Shouldn't you be doing your job? I mean, you have a contract with the fans, the promoters, the people who are betting on it, and the people who carry us.''

However, martial arts is not just about strength and trash talk. It also requires a lot of psychological games and strategies. As you can see from Michael Chandler's two years of preparation, he probably doesn't want all his hard work to go to waste. He could use mind games with Conor McGregor as part of his overall strategy to win.
