Michael Chandler’s first reaction to Dana White’s plan to hold a press conference in Ireland

Dana White just dropped another nuclear on the MMA community when he took to his Instagram handle to state that the UFC would not be resting after the action-packed UFC 302 and they would just move to Ireland on 3rd June to have a massive press conference of the fight. The UFC Supremo’s exact words were, “Next week is UFC 302, and when that fight is over, I’m jumping on a plane and flying straight to Dublin, Ireland. We are holding a Conor vs. Chandler press conference live and free on June 3rd.”

Conor McGregor was happy about the event as he commented, “MY FIGHT! MY HOME TOWN” through his Instagram handle. But, what about Chandler? Well, he is not budged by the news as he is too focused on the match. Chandler took to his Instagram handle to add a comment that said, “This is going to be fun! See y’all there!”

The former Bellator fighter further uploaded a video on his Instagram handle about the news. Nonetheless, June 3rd will be interesting for the MMA fans. However, let’s shift our focus to a new about Tom Brady and Jon Jones.

Jon Jones shuts down a fan taking Tom Brady as an example

The heavyweight champion of the world, Jon Jones has been away from the Octagon for nearly six months now and the fans seem to not be happy with the fact that even though he is on hiatus he is not relinquishing his title. The interim heavyweight champion of the world, Tom Aspinall has been calling out Jones for a fight but ‘Bones’ seems to be hell-bent on not giving the young.

The MMA community has been calling out the heavyweight champion to fight Aspinall but Jones has other plans. In his latest escapade, Jones has taken the example of Tom Brady to shut a fan who asked him to fight Stipe and then Aspinall. “Hey Tom Brady, you still look healthy, give us two more Super Bowls and I’ll personally be more impressed by your career!” wrote Jones. ‘Bones’ has been calling for the Stipe fight as his retirement bout but the fans seem to be wanting him to give Aspinall a chance. What’s your take on this?
