The former UFC 155-pound title challenger defended his honor and that is the reason why McGregor has now returned the favor.
In a recent Bussin’ With The Boys podcast appearance, Chandler slammed fans who criticize McGregor due to his recent losses. According to Chandler:
“His mental awareness capacity and stability inside of the octagon, inside the confines of competition – especially with how heightened the stakes and the senses are, inside of his fights, while everybody in the entire world is watching – it’s something to behold, man. He’s a different level of competitor. And anybody who discredits him because he’s lost fights is just either a casual or a Conor hater, to be honest with you.”
