Michael Chandler's Christmas wish is to put his fist through Conor McGregor's face on the UFC's December card -- and while Santa Claus can't help here -- Dana White can, and Iron Mike desperately hopes he books the long-awaited fight as UFC 310's main event! TMZ Sports talked to 38-year-old Chandler on Wednesday ... and asked the #6 ranked lightweight for his reaction to White recently declaring McGregor (and therefore Michael) would NOT be fighting in 2024. "If [Conor and I] can fight in December, let's do it. I'm in. But the fact of the matter is I've stayed ready since I left training camp for that June 29 fight and I am staying ready to take a fight. Any fight, if this fight doesn't look like it's happening in December," Chandler told us. Of course, as Michael referenced, he was supposed to face Conor at UFC 303 in early summer ... but McGregor pulled out with an injury to his toe.
