Conor McGregor has erupted in anger after news broke that his highly anticipated fight against Michael Chandler is officially off the table. UFC President Dana White recently revealed that the promotion is moving in a different direction, igniting an explosive response from McGregor on social media.
McGregor took to Twitter to vent his frustration, accusing Chandler of bailing on the fight after months of waiting. In a heated tweet, McGregor claimed, “Chandler saw that takedown getting stuffed and officially dipped. Little Fat Pussy.” His words not only showed his irritation but also signaled his eagerness to return to the Octagon after a long break.
McGregor hasn’t fought since UFC 264, where he suffered a severe leg injury against Dustin Poirier. Fans were hoping to see him square off against Chandler, especially after the two coached against each other in the season finale of The Ultimate Fighter 31. Unfortunately, UFC President Dana White confirmed that they are now seeking a different opponent for Chandler.
Rumors are already swirling about Chandler’s next fight, with reports suggesting he could face former UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira at UFC 309, in what might be a title eliminator. After waiting three years for the McGregor fight, Chandler seems to have moved on, while McGregor’s return to MMA continues to face setbacks.
McGregor’s fiery social media outburst adds fuel to the rivalry with Chandler. The Irish star also hinted at being fight-ready, mentioning his recent drug tests and attendance at a bare-knuckle event in Florida. His bold comments keep fans on edge, eagerly anticipating his next move.
As the UFC lightweight division shifts, with champion Islam Makhachev preparing to defend his belt against Arman Tsarukyan, McGregor’s return remains uncertain. However, one thing is clear—McGregor is determined to reignite his fighting career and keep fans hooked with his unpredictable and passionate personality.
As this drama unfolds, it’s evident the UFC must carefully balance its plans for its top fighters, as fans wait to see what comes next. McGregor’s rage reflects not only his personal disappointment but also the fierce rivalries and ambitions that continue to captivate the world of mixed martial arts.
