UFC tipped to create brand-new title for Conor McGregor's fight with Michael Chandler

Michael Chandler has suggested a brand-new UFC title could be on the line for when he welcomes Conor McGregor back to the Octagon.It will be the Irishman's first fight since his crushing first-round defeat to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 back in July 2021.And he teased that the UFC could create a brand-new belt for their UFC 303 showdown.

"Even me in this position, man, I would not be surprised if that bout agreement comes over and it says for the 165 title. You never know because the UFC has to keep a lot of things secret."Even to us, right? I mean, you saw Conor broke the announcement again before the UFC did it. I’m sure the UFC said, 'Hey, don’t do it because we’re gonna do it at the post-fight press conference'.

"I think I’ll compete phenomenally there. I'm still gonna do the exact same camp. I’m still gonna get my weight similar to where I would be at 155, I just won’t dehydrate myself at the end.
