Michael Chandler was initially set to fight Conor McGregor after their coaching stint on 'The Ultimate Fighter', but delays due to McGregor's injuries and other issues have led Chandler to move on. Chandler is now scheduled to fight Charles Oliveira in a rematch at UFC 309 in November, a decision that has sparked social media clashes between Chandler and McGregor. Dana White has praised Chandler and Oliveira for their willingness to fight, noting the ease of scheduling the bout compared to working around McGregor's return. Despite his frustrations, McGregor remains optimistic about eventually fighting Chandler, possibly in early 2025. This development has disappointed many fans who were looking forward to the McGregor vs. Chandler bout.
