He has defeated some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry. The owner of TKO Group/ Endeavor has achieved massive success in the last 2 years and has increased his worth four times. Some of the big names that Emanuel has walked past are Ted Sarandos (Co-CEO of Netflix) and David Zaslav (CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery). Both Sarandos and Zaslav held the second and third positions, respectively. Hopefully, Ari Emanuel can continue reaching heights which would help the UFC grow as a promotion.

Talking about Instagram stories, McGregor recently shared a post hinting at something big before his UFC 303 fight. The post revealed the Dubliner at a recording studio and in a completely new role. Fans speculate that a diss track is on the way. His opponent, Michael Chandler also took notice of the latest development and shared his opinion on the whole.

Michael Chandler and Conor McGregor have been waiting to lay their hands on each other for quite some time now. Their wait is finally over as the pair will take on each other at UFC 303. But it now seems that both fighters are not willing to give an inch to each other. McGregor is a master at playing mind games and his recent Instagram post is proof of that. The former dual-champion recently posted pictures from a recording studio and the fans are hoping it would be a diss track. However, his opponent Chandler seems prepared for it and is ready with a response.

He recently took to his X account to share a message for the Dubliner and wrote, “Please tell me a dis track is coming…I will roast this fool,”. If ‘Mystic Mac’ comes up with a diss track, this will be the first of a kind in the history of the combat sports world. ‘Iron’ who prefers to do most of the talking inside the Octagon, has promised to retire the ‘Notorious One’ in most of his interviews. However, he will have to be at his supreme best if he wants to back his talks with actions.

Do you think Michael Chandler can defeat Conor McGregor at UFC 303? Let us know in the comments below.
