For the first time in a long while, the hopes of Conor McGregor returning to the Octagon seem to be materializing for fans. Recently, the Irishman gave us an update about his fight against Michael Chandler. Moreover, the two future opponents have been engaging with each other in a Twitter war of words.

While some are dismissing them as the usual ‘Conor McGregor’ antics, there are other fans who think that these sudden exchanges could mean one thing – Conor McGregor vs Michael Chandler is back in the works.

Recently, as the UFC 290 PPV was live, the Notorious decided to make some tweets updating fans about himself. Moreover, he even brought back his Mystic Mac persona as he predicted his fight against Chandler to end in Round 3. ‘Iron Mike’ did not let these disses slide and responded with a series of tweets. In a lot of his verbal jabs, he called out McGregor for his small hands.

Conor McGregor responds as Michael Chandler questions his hand size

As we all know, UFC’s first double champ is known for his exceptional hitting power and punch size. However, Chandler does not agree with this notion. Recently, he posted a years-old picture of Conor McGregor and Justin Gaethje, where he tried to prove that the Irishman’s hands are not exceptionally sized.

In his tweet, the former Bellator champ talked about how objects closer to the camera look bigger. Overall, he tried to conclude that the Irishman’s hand just looked massive because it was near the camera.

“There is a term in cinema we use called “spatial recency” that says the closer and object is to the camera on a lateral plane that said object will look bigger…be better Belo…Conor has tiny hands…I spent 5 weeks with him.”
