McGregor's last fight in July 2021 ended abruptly in the first round due to a broken leg, resulting in a doctor's stoppage.

Despite his achievements as a former Bellator lightweight champion, Chandler has faced difficulties since transitioning to the UFC in 2021, where he has gone 2-3 against a slate of high-end opponents.

Here’s our breakdown of the McGregor-Chandler odds and betting lines for the main event of UFC 303 to help with your UFC picks (odds via our best sports betting sites).

McGregor vs. Chandler early pick

Michael Chandler

There is a lot of uncertainty surrounding the 2023 TUF coaches heading into this clash, and ring rust may undoubtedly come into play. McGregor was once a two-division champ, but those days are far in the rearview mirror. Meanwhile, Chandler has not been able to establish the dominance in UFC that he was capable of in Bellator. 

But it feels like Chandler has put on better performances of late, despite the losses, while McGregor has just one win since 2016, which came back in 2020. Both men may have lost to Poirier last time out, but Chandler was highly competitive until being submitted in the third round. He's unlikely to face much pressure from McGregor in the way of submissions, as the favorite is just 1-4 in his career via submission, with that lone victory coming in 2012 before he was in the UFC.
