Conor McGregor gave out his blueprint to deal with Michael Chandler
The UFC recently released a clip from the about-to-begin season of TUF featuring the two coaches, Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler. It may be agreed that the video was an intense one, showcasing some ruthless trash-talking from McGregor. In another clip, ‘The Notorious’ got heated and shoved Chandler.
Following the release of the clips, ‘Mystic Mac’ took to his Twitter account and revealed his game plan to get the better of Chandler and his team. Apart from following them himself, it also may be said that McGregor will train his team in the same way.
His initial tweet read, “Don’t go crazy but go at them when you hit them. Especially the small / no gloves.”

Do you think McGregor’s strategy will work against Chandler? Especially since Chandler has a number of similarities with McGregor in terms of his game. Some might also agree that ‘Iron’ follows nearly the same blueprint for his fights as well.
Kamaru Usman and Khamzat Chimaev continued their beef
It was the former Welterweight champ, Kamaru Usman who triggered the feud between him and the furious UFC fighter, Khamzat Chimaev. But, even after both taking digs at each other, the feud probably isn’t stopping anytime soon.
Recently, Usman added one more chapter to it. He uploaded a snap of him on his Twitter account along with a mention of Chimaev’s Twitter handle in his caption. It was also apparent from Usman’s caption that he won’t mind taking on Chimaev.

Despite the UFC boss Dana White’s distaste for this bout. Neither Usman nor Chimaev are currently backing down from replying to each other’s shots. It will be interesting to witness whether this feud finally leads to a showdown or not.
John Kavanagh was not happy with KSI’s promotion
Conor McGregor’s longtime coach John Kavanagh presented his harsh opinion about the recent controversial boxing event held by the YouTuber-boxer KSI’s promotion. The event consisted of an undercard bout with two internet personas, WingsOfRedemption and Boogie2988. Apparently, this is the fact that triggered Kavanagh.

The bout between two obese boxers was a rather lackluster one even though ‘WingsOfRedemption’ managed to secure a victory in the second round only. Kavanagh was probably angered to see the inferior quality of boxing skills showcased by the combatants.

He took to his Twitter handle and posted a now-deleted tweet reading, “Shame on @DAZNBoxing but most shame on the doctors who cleared this circus. Should have their licenses revoked. Really frustrating seeing this when I know so many pro boxers pushing themselves so hard just tryna get an opportunity.”
It was apparent that Kavanagh really cares about combat sports and wants their class to go higher instead of dropping down.
