UFC 274: Joe Rogan says Conor McGregor fighting Michael Chandler makes sense – ‘take my money’
- Chandler calls McGregor out after KO win over Tony Ferguson at UFC 274 on Saturday night in Phoenix, Arizona
- Former Bellator champ believes bout would ‘sell pay-per-views’ and UFC commentator Rogan agrees, calling it ‘a very marketable fight’
Joe Rogan is in full support of Michael Chandler’s call for a fight with Conor McGregor.
Chandler challenged McGregor to a fight after scoring a knockout of the year contender against Tony Ferguson on the main card of UFC 274 on Saturday night in Phoenix, Arizona.
Rogan, who was on commentary duty for the event, shared his thoughts on the potential match-up after the fights concluded, and left little doubt about where he stands on the idea.
“Maybe he can coax Conor McGregor into a fight,” Rogan told his broadcast colleagues Daniel Cormier and Jon Anik. “That’s a fight that makes sense. That’s a very marketable fight.
“Set it up. Take my money. Let’s go.”
Chandler, 36, elaborated on his interest in a fight with McGregor at the UFC 274 post-fight press conference.
“That fight with Conor, I’m serious about it,” he said. “You’re going to be hard-pressed to find somebody who doesn’t think I’m one of the most exciting guys on the planet now. I think I’ve proven that numerous times now. Conor needs a big fight to put butts in seats to sell pay-per-views.
