Notably, the President of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), Dana White, addressed the situation surrounding Conor McGregor’s potential fight with Michael Chandler on the Pat McAfee Show. He was quoted as saying, “Hopefully this year. There is no date. I’m hoping for the fall, (hopefully) we get it done in the fall.”
It led to Conor McGregor answering one of the fan questions on his Instagram stories about when his next fight is going to be. He remarked, “Still holding hope for June 29. Lack of action on it, however, is now causing lack of enthusiasm. I need a decision soon. I am the most tested athlete under this new regime. Yet no date to fight.”
“The game is a bit lackluster also at present, which isn’t helping. I hope these next few cards pop and I get a date. Eliminate distractions and begin real work towards it,” McGregor added.
