Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Michael Chandler could have info the remainder of us don’t.
It’s been a tough 48 hours for “Iron” Mike, who could also be watching his dream match up versus Conor McGregor go up in flames. Scheduled for the primary occasion of UFC 303, McGregor abruptly canceled on pre-fight press obligations as a consequence of “obstacles outside of our control” — no matter which means! Now, there’s rumors swirling about injury and reviews that UFC is wanting into alternate main event options.
That’s BAD NEWS for Chandler, who has spent a ton of time ready and constructing in direction of the McGregor match up. It’s an comprehensible purpose for Chandler, seeing as McGregor is a significantly extra huge star than anybody else on the UFC roster, as victory may dramatically change his life. On account of chasing the McGregor battle, nevertheless, Chandler hasn’t fought in 19 months.
At 38 years of age, that’s a serious danger. McGregor reacted to all of the chaos within the Instagram put up above, remaining cryptic along with his caption. Tagging the placement as Nashville, Tennessee, Chandler posted some coaching pictures and accompanied them with the caption, “When you’re on the lookout for me, I’ll be out in Tennessee. No method out of the life we selected…” There’s nothing definitive there, however it will be slightly bizarre if Chandler have been to go away his battle camp in Florida if all was properly.
The comply with up “Stroll On” and “See you on the prime!” are commonplace Chandler phrases, however that is downright unenthusiastic posting contemplating the supply. Chandler’s love for and reliance on inspirational quotes is well-known to the point of annoyance, however that is his most quiet put up in latest reminiscence.
Maybe that’s indicative of dangerous information? Fairly a number of responses on-line are arguing that Chandler has reached the “acceptance” stage within the 5 phases of grief. We’ll discover out prior to later if that’s true, or if Chandler is merely holding his playing cards near his chest.
