When Dana White announced the ‘Conor McGregor vs Michael Chandler’ fight in February, fans expected the coming months to be filled with explosive updates and developments. However, the reality is the exact opposite of this. McGregor vs Chandler seems to be falling out and the MMA community’s frustration is evident.

Multiple episodes of The Ultimate Fighter 31, starring McGregor and Michael Chandler have aired. However, there is no sign of the Irishman stepping into the USADA pool. According to the anti-oping agency, a fighter must be in its testing pool for 6 months before competing. This clearly means that ‘The Notorious’ is not eligible to fight till the end of 2023. Amidst all this controversy, Chandler revealed an intriguing turn of events that might have left him fuming with frustration!

USADA to test Michael Chandler just after Conor McGregor missed the deadline

16th June was the deadline for the Irishman to be back in the testing pool in order to fight in a 2023 PPV. However, days have passed since the deadline ended and McGregor has still not taken any action.

‘Iron’ recently shared a video on social media that captured a surprise visit from USADA on his doorstep. In the video, Chandler expressed his frustration at the anti-doping agency wanting to test him in between this controversy.

The former Bellator champion found it “comical” that he was being tested, and not his potential opponent. “Conor’s not in USADA. 179 days left until December 16th, which is supposed to be the last PPV of the year. And comically, USADA shows up to my door, today, to add insult to injury. Where you at boy?”

Michael Chandler to fight a different opponent?

If the fight against ‘Mystic Mac’ doesn’t happen, one option is Arman Tsarukyan. After his UFC Vegas 75 victory, Tsarukyan expressed his desire to step into the octagon with the “big name” Chandler.

Moreover, the lightweight fighter also believes that Chandler vs McGregor is not happening. “I have a couple names. To be honest, I want to fight with Chandler because he’s (a) big name and I know Conor is not gonna fight. He’s over. That fight is going to be over.”

However, it doesn’t look like Chandler has opinions in the top 5. He might have to fight below in the rankings. If the McGregor fight doesn’t take place, it may leave him at his wit’s end.
