Michael Chandler opens as favorite for Conor McGregor\u2019s next
\nfight<\/h2>\n

Michael
\nChandler<\/a> has opened as the betting favorite at 2\/1 to face
\nMcGregor next. The long-discussed matchup between the two former
\nopposing \u201cThe Ultimate Fighter\u201d coaches was originally set to go
\ndown in 2024 before McGregor withdrew because of injury.<\/p>\n

A trilogy bout with Holloway follows at 3\/1. With their rivalry at
\n1-1, a rubber match could be on the cards. Moreover, \u201cBlessed\u201d
\nrepeatedly called for the same following the Irishman\u2019s injury.<\/p>\n

Despite not being on the UFC roster, Nate Diaz<\/a> is
\nlisted third at 5\/1. Like Holloway, Diaz is 1-1 with McGregor. The
\nStockton native would have to be re-signed by the UFC if a trilogy
\nis to take place next.<\/p>\n

Diaz is followed by Jorge
\nMasvidal<\/a> (7\/1), Justin
\nGaethje<\/a> (8\/1), Paddy
\nPimblett<\/a> (10\/1) and Dustin
\nPoirier<\/a> (12\/1). Both Masvidal and Poirier are retired, but have
\nhinted at interest in potential Octagon returns.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, former lightweight UFC champion Khabib
\nNurmagomedov<\/a>, who held the title from April 2018 to March 2021,
\nhas the longest odds on the board at 20\/1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
