The fight between Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler in the UFC was already agreed upon almost a year ago, but even after the Irishman announced June as the official date, the fight still doesn't seem close to becoming official.
Dana White, the CEO of the UFC recently stated that McGregor will indeed fight in the top organization this year, but it appears that the fight will not take place at the UFC 300 event as Conor had planned and announced.
Chandler talked about the frustrating wait for the fight against Conor: "People are telling me to fight someone else, but I committed. It just doesn't fit into other people's schedules.
I want to fight Conor McGregor and he fights me, it's frustrating."

Meanwhile, the two continue to trade blows with each other on social media leading up to the fight.
Despite this, as mentioned, it is not yet official.
In any case, Conor announced that the two were going to fight at middleweight, much higher than the two's natural division.
Both Conor and Chandler, who came to the UFC in 2021 from the Bellator organization where he is considered a legend, are two older fighters who are past their prime.
Michael's last fight was against Tony Ferguson, when he beat him with a nice knockout with a precise kick to the head.
