Michael Chandler picks the ideal date for rescheduled Conor McGregor bout
Watch UFC 305 live on ESPN+ (U.S. only)

Nothing has been confirmed regarding a potential rescheduling of the Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler welterweight bout that was set to headline UFC 303, but Chandler believes the holiday season would be a good time to stage the fight.

McGregor sustained a broken toe in training, forcing the bout to be cancelled. However, Chandler's not giving up on a possible clash between the opposing coaches from "The Ultimate Fighter 31," and he's proposed a December date for the anticipated matchup.

“December's got me and Conor written all over it," Chandler told Lucky Block. "That's when we should fight.

"It's enough time for him to have healed up and get back into a training camp. December makes a lot of sense. People love the violence that I bring to the Octagon and obviously Conor McGregor is the biggest name in combat sports, so this fight makes a ton of sense. It's a great matchup.

"There's a little bit of gamesmanship slash bad blood, but it's overall respectful, and if Conor and I do fight, I will dispatch him, and finally put an exclamation mark on this big saga that is Chandler versus Conor. But we are fighting in the UFC, the biggest combat sports organization in the world by far, and they have a ton of moving parts. I definitely want to fight by the end of the year, that would be ideal. That's always the hope. But, man, there's a lot of options out there.”
