In the lead-up to their highly anticipated main event clash at UFC 303, Michael Chandler has credited Conor McGregor for his business acumen while confidently asserting his intent to defeat the Irish fighter in the octagon.

The news broke during Saturday's BKFC KnuckleMania 4 event that McGregor, in collaboration with his McGregor Sports and Entertainment enterprise, has acquired a co-ownership stake in BKFC. This revelation reverberated through the audience present at the arena and those tuning in from home, prompting reactions from various quarters, including Chandler who took to Twitter on Saturday night to share his thoughts.

"Conor out here making moves," Chandler tweeted. "Hate it or love it, the dude is making stuff happen. With that being said, I KO him within 10 [minutes] on June 29 at UFC 303."
