With Conor McGregor not enlisted in the USADA’s testing pool, people believe that his chances of fighting Michael Chandler are slim. Furthermore, a fellow lightweight fighter, Matt Frevola, expressed his urge to replace the Irishman to fight the former Bellator champion. Now, McGregor interacted with ‘The Steamrolla’ on social media.

While the possibility of ‘Notorious’ making his comeback is in doubt, Dana White still believes that his fight against ‘Iron’ is going to take place. He even disregarded USADA claiming that he doesn’t care what they have to say about the fight. Now, Matt Frevola, who wants to fight Chandler, hit up Conor McGregor on Twitter.

The former double champion has an active presence on social media. He doesn’t shy away from communicating with other fighters. As such, Matt Frevola hit him up on Twitter asking if he’s in Montauk. ‘The Steamrolla’ asked, “How’s Strong Island treating you [Conor McGregor] ??? See your’e in Montauk.” Conor McGregor replied to him, asking if he was there too. McGregor said, “It’s great, are you here ?”

However, Frevola was in Vegas preparing for UFC International Fight Week. Moreover, he will be cornering one of his teammates for a fight next week. Frevola assured McGregor that he will be there in Montauk after he was done in Las Vegas. “In Vegas for IFW & to corner my guy next week. Enjoy the Island!! Montauk is [great]. I’ll be back there on the 16th.”

Frevola had put his name in the hat to fight Chandler recently.
