Michael Chandler looks like he’s burning out of waiting on Conor McGregor to seal their face-off that’s reported for the historical UFC 300 card in April.
After squaring off versus each other as coaches on The Ultimate Fighter, which shot in early 2022, Chandler and McGregor have actually been waiting for a real date to get revealed for their battle. Things initially, McGregor had to return to the UFC’s anti-doping program however he’ll be qualified to contend once again in April.
That stated, Chandler still hasn’t gotten main word that the battle with McGregor is occurring so he fired off a number of chance ats the Irish super star on social networks.
“I heard there was a conference in Abu Dhabi or Dubai tonight– ideally Dana can encourage Conor McGregor to be a male of his word,” Chandler composed on Twitter. “But all of us make claims we can’t support sometimes … it’s humanity … I do not fault him for it.
“Imagine stating it, ‘the best return in fight sports history’ and after that doing an entire sham of a documentary about it, and after that never ever returning. McGregor FORGOTTEN.”

Think of stating it, “the best resurgence in fight sports history” and after that doing an entire sham of a documentary about it, and after that never ever returning. @TheNotoriousMMA

The documentary that Chandler referenced was a movie called McGregor Forever launched in early 2023 on Netflix that in-depth McGregor’s healing from a destructive damaged leg he suffered in his last getaway versus Dustin Poirier in 2021. McGregor hasn’t combated ever since however Chandler was expected to be the challenger he would deal with in his ultimate return.
After seeing Chandler’s message, McGregor sniped back in a now erased message on Twitter that buffooned the previous Bellator champ’s drawing power without him.
“Chandler-[Renato] Moicano– now there is a [UFC] 300 centerpiece!” McGregor composed.
For his part, Moicano didn’t appear all that interested while he’s getting ready for his own battle versus Drew Dober in February.
“Nah, I’m great,” Moicano composed in reaction to McGregor. “Too simple.”
Regardless of the back-and-forth in between the fighters, all indications are still pointing towards McGregor and Chandler conference in 2024 however certainly there’s still no agreement in location for the battle. UFC CEO Dana White did state that he prepared to consult with McGregor to hash out information about his go back to the octagon however the promo hasn’t made any official statements about his battle or Chandler’s participation.
It appears this will stay a wait-and-see scenario up until McGregor’s next battle is lastly validated.
