Chandler worries McGregor's politics may hinder their fight

Michael Chandler has been waiting for a chance to fight Conor McGregor for over two years, but it may never happen. Their fight was first planned for UFC 303, but McGregor had to cancel because of an injury. Since then, Chandler has fought once and has a new match coming up against Paddy Pimblett at UFC 314. Chandler still hopes for the fight with McGregor, but he worries that it might not happen anytime soon. This is partly because McGregor announced his candidacy for the presidency of Ireland. Chandler recently stated that McGregor is a significant figure in Ireland, and his potential political career might put their fight on hold. McGregor's visit to the White House and his presidential announcement have made headlines. He wore a hat with the slogan "Make Ireland Great Again" and is aiming to turn the mostly ceremonial presidency into a position with real power. Despite being seen as an outsider and needing official nominations, McGregor is determined to make a serious run. His message on social media emphasized his vision for Ireland's future and encouraged citizens to voice their opinions. McGregor is certainly focused on his political ambitions, which raises doubts about whether he will return to fighting in the octagon anytime soon.
