Michael Chandler does not rule out the future confrontation between Khabib and MMA Bellator

A few months ago, former MMA Lightweight Bellator Champion, Michael Chandler, declared himself the man to whom King of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) of 155 pounds, the current King Khabib Nurmagomedov, would make his first defeat.

Although the statement was welcomed, even by Russian fans, according to Chandler, there were just as many who laughed at this idea, especially since Michael was making this statement after signing an extension of contract to stay with Bellator.

Still, Chandler did not sign a lifetime deal with the Viacom promotion and said that while he would never fight for UFC, Khabib could still make the jump.

"Keep this in perspective," Chandler said in an interview with MMA Junkie. "Yes, I signed with Bellator, but it was not a case for life. It was not an agreement of 10 fights. It was not even an agreement of eight fights. It will not take me to the end of my career. More contracts will be signed, "he added.

"I am still a young fighter. I'm 32, but I feel like I'm 22 years old. So I can not imagine losing skills where there will not be huge opportunities for ridiculously good battles. In addition, Khabib is being offered $ 2 million per 50 cents, not to mention the fact that Bellator's list is constantly changing. "

50 Cent, the gangster rapper who now has a stake in Bellator MMA, has indeed offered "The Eagle" a $ 2 million payment to leave the ship. Despite the interest shown by Khabib, Dana White recently said that "the Eagle" would stay on the spot. Still, Chandler says anything can happen overnight.

"Thinking that it's impossible for Khabib to become a Bellator hunter in a year and a half to two years old at the age of 30, you're a little ignorant." t change some of these lists in the very near future, "concluded Chandler.

Until then, Khabib and Chandler will withdraw the contest in separate organizations, as Michael is currently about to play the Brent Primus home leg at Bellator 212 on December 14, 2018, while Khabib has to face Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC). he resumes his career in combat.

And he already has his eyes on a former champion for his fight back.
