Matt Frevola ready for Michael Chandler, says ‘juiced to the gills’ Conor McGregor ‘ain’t fighting’

Add Matt Frevola to the list of rising UFC lightweights who want a crack at Michael Chandler.

Chandler (23-8 MMA, 2-3 UFC) and Conor McGregor (22-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC) are expected to fight after filming Season 31 of “The Ultimate Fighter,” which continues to air Tuesdays on ESPN until Aug. 15.

However, with McGregor yet to re-enter the U.S. Anti-Doping Ageny drug testing pool in which he’s required to be for six months, the fight still hangs in the balance. Frevola doubts the fight will happen, and if he can’t get Paddy Pimblett at Madison Square Garden in New York, he’ll turn his attention to Chandler.

“Let’s fight, that’s it. November MSG, but if you don’t want to sign on the line, I’m ready for Michael Chandler,” Frevola said in a video posted on Twitter. “McGregor ain’t fighting. Dude’s juiced to the gills, coked up, beating up girls. Michael Chandler, you can keep dreaming because you’re not fighting. But guess who you can fight at MSG? You can take your steamrolling like a man. I’ll give you a glorious death in the arena. Just what every gladiator wants, and I’ll give that to you. MSG, baby. I’ll see you soon. See you at the top.”

Frevola (11-3-1 MMA, 5-3-1 UFC) has been on a roll, knocking out his past three opponents in a row in the first round – most recently Drew Dober in May at UFC 288. Like Frevola, the likes of Grant Dawson and Arman Tsarukyan are also eyeing Chandler and are under the impression that he won’t fight McGregor.
