Former UFC championship contender Michael Chandler posted an angry video after Conor McGregor failed to meet the USADA deadline their endangering the match. Since the bout was originally mentioned, Chandler has been putting a lot of effort into getting ready. But with the recent chain of events, he might be left without any rival to fight against.
Conor's projected opponent is currently in jeopardy as he must wait until 2024 to face off in the octagon. Following the completion of their TUF season, the two were slated to meet in the cage, but that now seems improbable. Chandler is still enrolled in the programme and recently received a visit from the anti-doping organisation despite the removal of the Dublin native.
The NCAA Division I wrestler called out McGregor following the release of a video to his followers during USADA's visit to his residence, saying: "You guys have all seen the news, Conor's not in USADA... Comically, USADA shows up at my door today, to add insult to injury. Where you at, boy?"
The USADA testing pool must be joined by a UFC fighter at least six months before a match. After fracturing his leg in 2021, McGregor was removed from the testing pool and hasn't been tested since. As 'The Notorious' recovers from his wounds, he has put on a lot of weight.
Many people's eyebrows were raised as a result. He had till June 16, 2023, to enrol in the programme in order to compete this year. The former UFC champion has not yet entered the pool, according to MMA Uncensored. His duel with Michael Chandler is in jeopardy as a result. Fans will have to wait, though, for an official statement on the subject.
