Michael Chandler throws a shot at Conor McGregor as rivalry intensifies

UFC star Michael Chandler has thrown a shot at Conor McGregor as their rivalry continues to intensify.

As we know, Michael Chandler and Conor McGregor will not be facing off in the main event of UFC 303. This is due to an injury sustained by McGregor, with there being no word on when he’ll be able to return.

He did, however, make an appearance at a Bellator show over the weekend. He seemed to be in good spirits, and he made it clear that he wants to return as soon as possible. As we know, Chandler and Conor were supposed to have a press conference in Dublin ahead of UFC 303, but it never came to fruition.

There are plenty of ifs, buts and maybes right now. Alas, what we do know is that Chandler isn’t happy – as you can tell by the following message.

Speaking of showing up to events…glad you finally made it to the 3Arena where the press conference was supposed to be June 3rd. Sweet slippers. Who’s the Bellator Tick now? @TheNotoriousMMA https://t.co/1gtJrvuSfM

Everyone knows that Michael Chandler is a company man. In equal measure, he’s also getting pretty tired of what’s going on right now – and understandably so. Hopefully, for his sake, he’s able to get back in the Octagon sooner rather than later. As for the Irishman, when he does eventually step into the cage, you can bet that all eyes will be on the UFC once again.
