The former UFC double champion seems to have gotten healthier after suffering a broken leg injury at UFC 264. He’s been busy with his business ventures, while also gearing up for the release of his first Hollywood flick, ‘Road House’, alongside Jake Gyllenhaal. That has seemingly set Michael Chandler off as he has demanded clear answers from McGregor.
