Conor McGregor will be going head-to-head against Michael Chandler in his comeback fight under the UFC banner. In classic McGregor fashion, he took to Twitter and shared a video of ‘Iron’ showing his dance moves in a pink tutu on a television game show. Fans found it amusing and have shared their reactions to the post.
UFC president Dana White announced McGregor’s fight against Chandler earlier this year. He did provide an update, but the date and venue of the fight are yet to be disclosed. It was originally scheduled to take place after the end of the 31st season of ‘The Ultimate Fighter’, where Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler will appear as opposing coaches.

‘Iron’ became the first UFC fighter to appear on the popular game show, ‘Deal or No Deal’ in the fifth season of its installment in 2019. He was playing for the top prize of $1,000,000, and seemingly performed well despite leaving out the small amounts of cash prizes. The most entertaining part of the show was when the Banker of the game show challenged Michael Chandler to show some of his dance moves with a young girl who was wearing a black tutu.

Conor McGregor caught hold of the ‘Deal or No Deal’ episode and shared a video on Twitter, which prompted some hilarious reactions from the fans on social media.
