With Conor McGregor not enlisted in the USADA’s testing pool, people believe that his chances of fighting Michael Chandler are slim. Furthermore, a fellow lightweight fighter, Matt Frevola, expressed his urge to replace the Irishman to fight the former Bellator champion. Now, McGregor interacted with ‘The Steamrolla’ on social media.
While the possibility of ‘Notorious’ making his comeback is in doubt, Dana White still believes that his fight against ‘Iron’ is going to take place. He even disregarded USADA claiming that he doesn’t care what they have to say about the fight. Now, Matt Frevola, who wants to fight Chandler, hit up Conor McGregor on Twitter.

Additionally, he told Michael Chandler that his fight with the former double champion isn’t going to come to fruition. Instead, ‘Iron’ should consider fighting him at MSG. Frevola added, “Michael Chandler, you could keep dreaming about fighting. But guess who you can fight at MSG? [pointing at himself] You can take your steamrolling like a man.”
Even if Dana White has assured that Chandler vs McGregor will take place this year, he has not given a timeline as to when it could happen. However, the Irishman has backed the UFC president’s claim and fans are waiting to see if the 53-year-old promoter can follow through with his assurance.
