Few have been as anticipated yet unfulfilled as the showdown between Michael &ldquo;Chandler and Conor McGregor. Their story began two years ago when they faced off as opposing coaches on season 31 of The Ultimate Fighter. Tensions ran high as McGregor&rsquo;s trademark trash-talking and even physical confrontations set the stage for what promised to be an explosive match in the octagon.<\/p><p>Fast forward to 2025, and fans are still waiting. The typically respectful Chandler has made no secret of his desire to retire McGregor. Their scheduled UFC 303 clash fell through last year due to McGregor&rsquo;s injury, leaving fight fans wondering if this match will ever happen.<\/p><p><strong>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/why-is-marvin-vettori-called-the-italian-dream-marvin-vettoris-nickname-explained\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Why Is Marvin Vettori Called &lsquo;The Italian Dream&rsquo;?

I was instantly hooked on MMA after watching the fight between Lyoto Machida vs. Gegard Mousasi back in 2014, and since then, i have been an avid writer with a deep love for the sport and its techniques, providing readers with a thorough understanding of the sport. My favorite aspect of working at The Playoffs is the creative freedom it provides. The diverse range of topics, from listicles and SEO to news articles, keeps me engaged and motivates me to continuously improve my skills! I aim to capture the excitement of the combat sports world in my writing, acting as the middleman between fighters and their die-hard fans. It is kind of like a referee, but with words!","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/zaid-quraishi-884927240?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=android_app"],"url":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/author\/zaid\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29617"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29617"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29617\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29737,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29617\/revisions\/29737"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29672"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29617"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29617"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29617"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
