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.

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.”

The coveted scrap between Lennox Lewis and Mike Tyson in 2002 was when I realized the passion for combat sports within my family. My interest in combat sports began watching scripted pro wrestling shows. It was my father who directed me towards combat sports and it wasn’t until the late 2010s that I discovered the world of MMA and the UFC. Like many of you, I too, tuned in for the infamous Nurmagomedov vs. McGregor bout live on October 6, 2018. Being an ardent fan of the UFC (and Dustin ‘The Diamond’ Poirier), I was always looking to have conversations about the same with others. But to my disappointment, I hardly found any followers of the sports to interact with. So I took it upon myself to do my part in popularizing the thrill and the agony behind the purest form of unarmed combat. At EssentiallySports, I try to bring the readers closer to the athletes and focus my coverage on exploring the human side of these martial artists. I’m a musician during my time free from reporting MMA. I operate as the lead vocalist of a rock band that aims to make their mark among the audiences with their original alternative-hard rock songs.
