The American has opened up on his mental health struggles as he awaits a new date for his bout with Conor McGregor.
Michael Chandler has given fans an insight into his mental health struggles as he continues to wait for a new date for his scheduled bout with Conor McGregor.
"He does not think I deserve this fight ," said Chandler in a conversation with Action Network, "But I do. He never would have, man, he never would have, and I think we all have that little guy or that little gal inside of us. Elaborating on the voice of doubt inside his head, Chandler claims that he is now able to silence it and because of this, he has been able to achieve things in his career that he never thought was possible.
"I was mad at the little guy for a very long time, and then once I began to acknowledge him and became friends with him, and realised that there are a lot of great things that I have accomplished, and great things that I have acquired in this life because of him. I stopped hating him, and just started to embrace him and enjoying the ride. And we're on this journey together."
