The Irishman obliged their demands to pave the way for the fight to happen. However, it has been months since then and there have been no announcements by Dana White regarding their fight.

The former dual weight champion even called out White for playing games with them, however, seems like the negotiations are taking place. In his latest confession, McGregor added that he would be returning in summer. “It’s all systems go. The Mac; The Notorious will be returning to the UFC Octagon this summer,” said McGregor in a conversation with ESPN.

This move by McGregor shocked Chandler who took to his X handle to express his opinion. He wrote, “I’m not sure I’ll be ready for a summer fight…this came out of the blue…I’ve been out of the loop. Can y’all ask Dana to confirm this?” When asked by one of the fans about his predictions for the fight, he confidently stated that he would emerge victorious, no matter what. “Chandler via however he wants…”

Chandler pointed out the obvious for McGregor as without White’s confirmation there would be no fights. Additionally, ‘Mystic Mac’ has only two fights left in his contract and there have been no talks about extending it according to McGregor.
