Conor McGregor’s departure from the UFC left a dent in it. Fans expected to witness their favorite fighter grace the octagon but were stopped. The community got hope when Dana White proposed McGregor vs. Michael Chandler fights. It was supposed to happen at the end of this year, however, USADA complications got in the way.
