When will the fight actually take place?

Michael Chandler is almost ready for his chance at a ‘Red Panty Night’ while he waits for a date for his bout against Conor McGregor. But McGregor’s apparent involvement in off-the-cage issues and the mystery surrounding his USADA status make the wait frustrating for both Chandler and the fans. Chandler was even called out by Arman Tsarukyan for a bout amidst all this.

Whether Conor McGregor will compete in 2023 is not yet certain. His USADA status is still unknown. His enrollment period, which would have made him eligible to compete in 2023, recently expired. On the other hand, Chandler has not fought since November of last year when he lost against Dustin Poirier. He still remains awaited for a twist.
