Keeping up with the daily events in MMA can be a challenge for fight fans. With a busy lifestyle, it’s easy to miss out on important news. However, there’s no need to worry. We’re here once more to provide you with a comprehensive summary of the key highlights from the past 24 hours.

We will start with Michael Chandler, who expressed concern about the possibility of his against Conor McGregor happening after ‘The Notorious’ faced off against Petr Yan during a boxing match, where Islam Makhachev was also in attendance. Then we will shift our focus to Dana White, who faced criticism after a heckler hurled abuse at Chris Gutierrez at UFC Vegas 83. Finally, we will sum up our news compilation with Khalil Rountree Jr., who expressed his wish to fight Alex Pereira after a huge win over Anthony Smith.

Michael Chandler is concerned about the Conor McGregor fight

‘The Notorious’ recently attended a boxing match at the IBA Night of Champions. There, he did an intense stare-down against former UFC bantamweight champion Petr Yan, which was all fun and banter. Moreover, McGregor’s former rival, Khabib Nurmagomedov’s protégé, Islam Makhachev, was also in attendance at the event. However, the former double champion steered clear of the 155lbs champion at the event. This led Michael Chandler to take aim at the Irishman.

Michael Chandler is slated to fight Conor McGregor when the Irishman makes his comeback. But it is not certain if that fight will take place. Nevertheless, ‘Iron’ took a jibe at McGregor after what transpired during the recent boxing event. “Looking for a 135er or preferably a 125er to face off with, on camera, at an obscure event…any takers? I need relevancy…,” said Michael Chandler.
