The Ultimate Fighter 31 is almost about to end, but the fight between coaches Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler is far from officialized. Moreover, it just seems like this fight might never even happen. Months after the initial news about McGregor vs Chandler, the Irishman has still not entered the USADA pool.
Further, it seems like ‘The Notorious’ is eyeing other challenges as well. Shortly after UFC 291, McGregor also called out the new BMF title holder, Justin Gaethje. Recently, McGregor revealed some intricate details about his return fight in his tweet. His blunt and unfiltered words got him a similar response from Michael Chandler.

Michael Chandler calls out Conor McGregor yet again!
Recently, a fan asked McGregor about the reason his fight against Chandler isn’t finalized. The Irishman replied to this by blaming the UFC. According to him, it is the UFC that is not interested in McGregor vs Chandler anymore. If his words are true, McGregor is gearing up for his return, regardless of the opponent he will face.
This dude… I remember when his words held an immense amount of weight. Just tell the truth. https://t.co/PGx26gUe72

“I’d do it if they want, no prob. I don’t think they want him no more though”, McGregor wrote. His potential opponent, Michael Chandler recently responded to these comments. To no one’s surprise, Chandler did not like what McGregor said. A fight against ‘The Notorious’ can become Chandler’s biggest payday, therefore the UFC star does not want to let it slip.
According to Chandler, the Irishman’s words can no longer be trusted, and he is not telling the truth. “This dude… I remember when his words held an immense amount of weight. Just tell the truth”, Chandler wrote. In the next tweet, ‘Iron Mike’ also made a bold prediction about how his fight against McGregor would end.
