Michael Chandler mocked Conor McGregor due to his USADA-related inactivity

The touted matchup between the noted UFC icon, Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler will probably be scrapped. Despite USADA providing the deadline of 16 June for all the UFC athletes to step inside their testing pool, McGregor failed to abide by it. Hence, most MMA fans and pundits don’t see this matchup happening this year.

Although McGregor showcased a laid-back approach, his TUF 31 opponent, Michael Chandler, has reportedly stepped inside the USADA testing pool. Chandler had also vocalized himself previously, saying he had no issues with USADA’s testing policies. It may be said that he backed his statement yet again. However, ‘Iron’ also took a shot at ‘Mystic Mac’ due to his USADA negligence.

Taking to his Twitter recently, Chandler uploaded a video and also captioned it, “No joke… WHERE THE FOOK IS THAT GUY?” Most UFC fans might realize that Chandler used McGregor’s words only to mock him.

Looking at the nature of McGregor, how soon do you think he will respond to this? Also, will we see him respond to this on the sets of TUF?

Tyson Fury fired at Joe Rogan, who had cropped up the whole recent feud

Most UFC fans are already aware of the coveted feud involving the noted WBC Heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury, UFC Heavyweight champ, Jon Jones, and the UFC supremo, Dana White. As the latest advancement in this feud, Fury revealed his denial of Dana White’s offer to step inside the UFC octagon against Jon Jones. However, he also remembered Rogan with a few strong words, since it was him due to which this entire beef happened.

After a sparring session in Thailand, he talked to the head coach there. Tyson initially revealed his denial of White’s offer stating, “To be honest with you, all this talk of a me and Jon Jones fighting in a cage is absolutely ridiculous.” He also opined how he thought “Jon’s a great guy, probably the GOAT of MMA.”

“It was actually Joe Rogan, little sh*tbag, who [started this]. Just out of the blue. There was no talk of me or Jon [Jones] even fighting.”
