The fifth number of the UFC lightweight ranking, Michael Chandler, long inactive in anticipation of a fight with Conor McGregor, commented on the statement of the head of the strongest league of the world, Dana White, who the day before reported that he is negotiating with the Irishman on his return to the octagon.
“I heard there was a meeting in Abu Dhabi or Dubai last night,” the American wrote on social media. “Hopefully Dana can convince Conor to be a man of his word, but we all make promises we can’t back up with deeds afterwards – that’s human nature and I can’t blame him for that.”
“Imagine making a statement about the ‘greatest comeback in martial arts history’, then making a fake documentary about it, and no comeback. McGregor is forgotten.”
A few days earlier, McGregor had called on the UFC to arrange a fight for him, stating that his patience was running out and also threatening to open negotiations for a boxing match against Manny Pacquiao.
The McGregor-Chandler fight was originally expected to be part of the UFC 300 anniversary event, which takes place April 13 in Las Vegas.
