UFC superstar Conor McGregor has reacted angrily to news that UFC CEO Dana White is planning a fight for Michael Chandler, despite a potential bout between the two being on hold.
The pair were originally slated to clash in June, but McGregor withdrew due to a toe injury. With no set date for a McGregor-Chandler fight, Chandler is keen to move on and has been linked to a potential fight against Charles Oliveira at UFC 309.
White confirmed these plans in an interview with Spinnin Backfist, prompting a scathing response from McGregor on social media. The Irishman, who hasn’t fought since July 2021, has not yet announced a return date to the Octagon.
A potential fight between McGregor and Oliveira at UFC 309 on November 17th would be a significant event, potentially determining the number one contender for the UFC lightweight championship.
