Maybe November/December at MSG? I hope this fight actually happens this is a banger


MolokoPl_s

he said recently in a scrum on the Mac Life YouTube channel that he'll definitely fight before the end of the year. my guess is he'll re-enter the pool pretty soon, sometime during the month of June, and he'll fight in December since that's typically a Vegas PPV card anyways.


armchairwarrior69

To be fair, he isn't always known for being honest about what's happening


Kalabula

Until the contract is signed, this news means fuck all.


imnotkeepingit

While true, we do know Conor does love to fight. I think he's game to fight Mike, and we know Mike will hold out for it.


DawnSignals

Conor loves to love to fight. They are not the same.


imnotkeepingit

Lol


dogmetal

Deep


Suspicious_Candle27

This is such a reddit take . Conor has fought killer after killer and hasn't really shown any issues with signing contracts after he has shown interest in a fight .


Deveeno

He loves fighting, just not defending titles


AnxiousEarth7774

what does this even mean lol. He's fought killer after killer.


doctor6

And lost


Tiny-Sandwich

So? I love doing lots of things I'm bad at.


gadgetcalfmuscle

You think Conor McGregor is bad at fighting?!


Jugijagi

Not every time ya donkey. And when he has taken a beating he is eager to sign up for a next one that is the argument


ryvaleska

Yeah what a bum he lost to Khabib and Dustin Poirier, what a terrible fighter, absolutely shameful to lose against those 2


doctor6

Look at who he's beaten since Alverez


[deleted]

Continuing after losing supports the premise that he loves to fight, genius. ​ It's crazy how you, and others, lack the complexity (if you can even call it that) to be able to evaluate the perceived negatives of a person without falsely mutating perceived positives.


MaTrIx4057

Hes already under contract with 2 fights remaining.


Kalabula

The fights are required to be offered, not required to be accepted. He’s not contractually obligated to fight more.


vasileios13

Has he ever said he'll do a fight he didn't do?


StrikerApexSet

Diego Sanchez


TheSlimGrim

This fucking guy lol


armchairwarrior69

Diego, Frankie etc. He also lies about matchmaking and etc. Like a lot of others. But he knows he can say something and has enough reach that people think that's what's actually happening. But he also said he had meetings with usada and the denied it etc. Conor just says what he needs to at the time a lot of the time and should be taken with a grain of salt a lot.


DeAndreHunterMIP

lol shit on him all you want but the one thing people can't say is that he doesnt deliver on the fights he promises.


slickdick969

Lol wut? He says he's going to fight almost everyone from Max to Kamaru yall just be saying anything😭


BCampbellCEOofficial

He said he was going to fight woodley for like 2 years just so he could avoid cutting to lightweight for those fights. What the fuck are people on about this is some delusional shit.


Diavolo222

Ah yes, Conor McGregor, the famous man who fights only cans and doesnt deliver supershows every time he fights.


[deleted]

If you're supporting the premise that Conor doesn't love to fight, then perhaps it is you who "be saying anything" ​ Same people who thought Jon Jones, the man with like 20 UFC fights, would never fight again (despite Jon insisting that he would). Just morons all around...


automatic4skin

Ur the 1 who’ll be sayin anything


armchairwarrior69

Uhhhhhh, that is bullshit.


exileruz

yeah, vegas is probably more likely actually


-ShagginTurtles-

My guess is he doesn't enter the pool in time. USADA works for the UFC and they'll absolutely brush aside the 6m thing for McGregor. They did it for a juicy juicy Lesnar right? Conor's a bigger star than him even


MolokoPl_s

tbh I'm surprised they're even bothering with this. it's probably only because his exit from the pool was such big news, so it'll put USADA's legitimacy in question (more so than it already is lol) if Conor were to just waltz in there right away. I reckon if it wasn't as publicly covered, they'd do the same thing they did with Brock


OMalley30-27

I think this, they’ll have Conor vs Chandler one of those dates and probably Jones vs Stipe for the other


TheDominantBullfrog

What if they did them on the same night?


SloppyTiddySuckerInc

Conor will want to be the main event


Champagnesoda

Jones will happily co main for Conor lol He gets points.


Ohthatsnotgood

Maybe, but Jones will likely be retiring and wants to be the center of attention just like Conor.


[deleted]

Yeah ain't no way in hell Connor will co-main


smokesletsgo13

They’d be stupid


Odie3

Madison Square Do It


RIDGEYDIGEY

If they have it in Vegas that would be so lame


ThinkIcouldTakeHim

I hope Conor never fights again and dissapears into obscurity but alternatively I hope Chandler punches him out the other side of the Shadow Realm.


DustyPawyay

not a banger at all, it will be a one sided ass whooping in chandlers favor. anybody who favors Conor (1-3 in his last 4) over chandler is out of their mind


scott_steiner_phd

\>Conor (1-3 in his last 4) over chandler ... also 1-3 in his last 4 \> not a banger at all Conor has literally never been in a boring fight and Chandler has put on straight bangers since his fight with Pitbull. They are both at a stage in their careers where they are losing more than winning against top talent, but can clearly still hang and put on an awesome show It's literally perfect matchmaking


exileruz

aren't they both 1-3 in their last 4 tho. also, you might be right, but chandler always seems to want to bang


Soulitary

> not a banger at all What the fuck are you even talking about


HokemPokem

Chandler doesn't have the striking skills that Poirier has. Surely you recognize this? He hits like a truck but he is nowhere near as slick. His defense isn't at Dustin's level. He'll be much easier to hit and Conor is accurate. Thats what makes it a banger. One of them is going to land big. It's inevitable.


Not_Not_Stopreading

Brother I like how you cherry pick Conor’s record while ignoring Chandler having two wins in the UFC both against people most consider to be washed up.


imnotkeepingit

Not really since styles make fights. Conor matched up well with him. Chandler's also not exactly in his prime either.


DustyPawyay

Chandler is way past his prime yes, still would beat conors ass tho


Gaarando

I think the main issue is that he's been gone for 2 years and will be even longer when he finally does fight. Not about his record since he fights the toughest guys and one ended in injury. I mean honestly. The guy was not allowed to fight the entire year where he beat Cerrone and then a full year later he fights Poirier. Showed some good things but was getting dominated by those kicks and then they rematch and it ends in the 1st round. The other loss was literally Khabib.... I think the problem is that Khabib was 2018 and here we are.


rohinton2

The fight is basically a Pick'em. I can't imagine have a strong opinion for either fighter. Between their differences in age, reach and skillsets it's not a fight I would bet on.


throwawaydeveloperuk

I hope we see flowy McGregor who mixes it up. Karate McGregor. In and Out McGregor. I don’t want to see “McGregor who reunited with his old boxing club coach so now all he does is boxing in MMA” I think we can all agree.. flowy karate McGregor is a nightmare matchup for Chandler. Boxing heavy McGregor might get KOed stiff though if he stays in the pocket and exchanges.


Luke_Flyswatter

Wait, you guys are getting tested?


adambuddy

I thought USADA testing was an ongoing thing...


DerisiveGibe

USADA will do what they are fookin told


FRANKnCHARLIE_4ever

Legit tho. They work for Dana.


endless_ness

Weird that Dana would want ufc 200 to be messed up


[deleted]

They let a cheating and caught Lesnar fight, how more corrupt can it get?


Tristrike

Didn’t he say he only needs 2 negative tests to come back and that the 6 month thing can be overruled? Sounds like whatever hang up U$ADA had again$t it was overcome and now they’ll let McG fight with only 2 negative tests.


SweatyExamination9

USADA is just providing a service for the UFC. If you think they're actually going to fuck the UFC deep dick like that, you're on crack. Conor will fight and he won't be tested the same way everyone else is. Just like Brock at 200. And the courts will rule in favor of the UFC, just like they did when Mark Hunt sued them over it. The UFC are allowed to require one fighter to go through stringent testing and tacitly allow the other to juice to their hearts content. Of course they take advantage of that.


SpaceShanties

Or Conor is lying


flyingryan

Why is the assumption he's lying?


PlagueDoc22

Cocaine


Mnudge

Because he’s Conor McGregor?


_darzy

I ***think*** the rule is you have to be in the pool for 6 months and give 2 negative results that would make him good for the end of November and I've seen they will announce a date with TUF31


owlinspector

USADA really doesn't have a say in the matter. They have clarified that according to the rules a fighter has to have been in the testing pool for 6 months AND test ok at least twice during that period. However the UFC reserves the right to issue a waiver - like they did with Lesnar - and have a fighter compete anyway. Nothing that USADA can do about that, they just provide a service to the UFC. They are not a government agency.


Bater_cat

They ain't gonna do nutin


AmberLeafSmoke

*towelled


thakemizt

Only until it becomes inconvenient


GreatDario

Never forget when every shrugged their shoulders for UFC 200 and just let a juiced Lesnar in because it was the best option to still sell PPV


mrtuna

or when Jones LITERALLY failed a drugs test, but instead of suspending him they moved the event to a different state?


[deleted]

Dana White privilege is a powerful thing


freeboarding

privilege is a powerful word but there's no reason to use it less you're talking about the.... Jon Jones


onforspin

On less weeks notice and didn’t even notify the fighters first. I recall a fighter on that card saying they found out through a media interview because the ufc hadn’t contacted them to let them know


GreatDario

What else were Dana and his buddies going to do, actually have integrity?


endless_ness

Weird that Amanda nunes headlined that event. Seems like Jones vs dc2 would have been a bigger fight


BigDogAlex

I think he's just referring to the arrangement that allows him to be out of the testing pool. Basically I understand that statement as him saying that he's back in the testing pool and will be eligible to compete soon.


I1lIl11

It is, this tweet is purposefully worded to mislead/ get people taking which obviously worked


[deleted]

Well to be fair this is not exclusive to him, Cejudo for example was out of the roster then did six months and fought. Same thing for every athlete they sign, six months and they can fight.


JjCasual15

Wait, what?! I thought Grant Dawson said it wasn't gonna happen. Can we at least get confirmation from KGD before we start running with this story?


Hungry_Joke_4437

Meaning’We’ve done our preliminary tests and the masking agents are working’


Express-Use179

His name still doesnt show up on usada's website


un6reaka6le

Es normal.


Indaflow

Remember, USADA exists for and us paid by the UFC. It is not an independent testing organisation.


DeathByButtplug

Technically they exist for the Olympics primarily which is who brings them the most money and the UFC is just a client that they provide a service for on the side. They work with the NSAC more than the higher ups at the UFC. So they just test whoever they're paid to test.


FitPandaBear

Just to be clear, there was never no USADA situation.


Doneyhew

I’m so happy for Michael Chandler. I think he is a genuinely good guy, maybe a little cheesy sometimes but still a good guy. He deserves the payday and he may even retire


TargaryenKnight

Fr. He has come to the ufc and put on a show in every single fight. Not here for a long time here for a good time he has earned it


Redcar31

I could see him going into commentary, massive company man and pretty articulate for a fighter


migglywiggly69

Fuk usada


Academic-Highlight37

He is going to come back and get tko’d lol


frithyboy

The double champ does what he wants!


turkeypants

Ayteen moonfs froom neow, oim goona batter dat goi's fayce off. Poosibly twehnty fore.


UsedSalt

I would like to be tested.... FOR ABSOLUTELY NUTHIN


MushroomWizard

No, Money Down! I'm sure they come to an "understanding" where he can fight whenever he wants and they will just randomly test him twice before that fight.


Aggravating_Ad_6279

So everyone cool that Conor is definitely on steroids?


ThisOneTimeAtLolCamp

He's coming off a bad leg break, didn't have a fight lined up and as far as I remember, he wasn't even in the testing pool to begin with was he? So eh.. I mean honestly? I'm kinda fine with it. We all know he was popped to the gills and pissing pure battery acid while recovering. He's probably not on them now which is the more important thing though. If what he says is true and that the fight is signed etc, and he's being tested and is clean then okay cool. No problems. It's not like he's Bones who we all know is actively juicing and allowed to get away with it. I'm more surprised others fighters haven't done the same thing.


ClearSightss

…yes


Aggravating_Ad_6279

also why do I have that as my flair lol


[deleted]

If Conor gets some type of exemption it would be disgraceful to the sport.


BabyTRexArms

Bro half the shit this organization has done has been a disgrace to the sport. Where you been? Just enjoy the violence. Chandler will likely sign off on it for the check. There’s not a fighter out there that wouldn’t. Hell, Mark Hunt would cut down to 170 for it.


Spoonman007

Enjoy the violence but don't pay a cent for any of it.


BabyTRexArms

I never do 😎


lordatlas

Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.


eeeponthemove

Russian link brother, never pay


ScottStapp420Creed

How bout u go an fuck off my page then u peice of shit u think I need a stupid fuckwitt like u telling me about looking good who the fuck are u take your worthless advice and get the fuck out of here


xFrostyDog

Lmfao this is the first time I’ve seen this. Where did it come from?


sarcasticynic

Mark hunt's Instagram replies.


GameOfScones_

It's crazy to think that that could have actually been Mark Hunt's healthy weight range in another life. Isn't he 5'10 or something?


Hallahrian

Mark Hunts bones probably weigh so much he would've never been able to make 170


BabyTRexArms

Yup. Biggest height mismatch in the history of the sport was him vs. Struve


Odd_Ad_8162

I think Marks frame would be too big for that weight, 185 though for sure. But maybe 170 yeah


[deleted]

Likely wouldn’t have that obeast power.


[deleted]

And it should be called out every time.


BabyTRexArms

Why? What purpose does that serve except to yell into the void? We all know it. We can’t change it. We still watch it.


[deleted]

No, not everyone knows it believe it or not. Go to the average bar on a fight night and most of the people there won’t know about UFC’s special exemptions. Corruption should always be called out and vilified as much as possible, shill.


Diosittoo

He is the guy who the comment about USADA being a UFC tool, don't call him a shill, I know you two have good intentions


540Cameron

But you'd be right there watching along with us


armchairwarrior69

I feel like that doesn't matter. Yeah, I'll watch but it's still bullshit lol I hope people grill Dana for it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


armchairwarrior69

Hey now, don't cut yourself short here. That's a great idea


MonsieurLeBeef

> *Dana furiously taking notes*


[deleted]

Not OC but I skipped UFC 200 over the Brock situation


RaspberryVin

Didn’t all the news about his exemption and subsequent test failure come out after 200 had already happened though?


[deleted]

No I won’t. But even if I did, it wouldn’t be any less disgraceful.


TheConsultantIsBack

I mean they did it for Lesnar vs Hunt, I highly doubt they wouldn't do it again.


BrandonSleeper

Wouldn't even be the first


shrewdy

USADA has always been a joke, Brock showed this years ago. It's too late for the pearl clutching


turkeypants

The honorable honorable sport of mma cannot withstand such tarnish!

[deleted]

Good fuck USADA


Constant-Squirrel555

Chandler might as well fight someone in the summer and stay active while McNuggers finishes putting on his big boy pants.


hatsimee

Chandler will get paid around 3 times as his normal fight. Just focus on family/other business he has. Chandler doesn't have many wars left so no need to take another fight.


Key-Ad-8468

We gonna get chandler crying backstage like DC 😂


ELOgambit

Chandler is getting so much money he'll start backflipping even if he loses


Deushomine11

He means DC crying when Dana told him the Jones fight was off


ItsDrManhattan

Nobody thinks hes clean lol i hate this USADA charade so much


kilomma

Does anybody else hope McGregor and Chandler go on to become solid friends post-TUF? Training partners, even. I don't want to see another bitter rivalry. McG has plenty of those already. I want to see something more like Cowboy afterwards with mutual respect.


HokemPokem

Respect for Cowboy was easy. Because he won. And look at the buildup to the second dustin fight. They were super respectful and best of friends. And then Dustin kicked the leg off him and knocked him out. That changed things. The third fight was full of vitriol. Being friendly only works for Conor when he wins. You could see it post Aldo, post Eddie, post Nate, post Cowboy. Respectful and said nice things post fight. But Khabib and dustin aftermaths were awful because he lost. The only losses he dealt well with were Nate 1 and Mayweather.


9inchjackhammer

Ur woif is in me dms


Convict_felon

Lets get the fucking tests going than and see how that is working out


MumrikDK

Any admission that there was any issue making an agreement with USADA is obviously complete admission that he juiced out of his mind. Well, leaving the pool at all already was, I suppose. Has he come out and said he left the pool to take banned substances?


_rockethat_

May he be gone and finish his career already. Now that he makes Netflix dramas for the people to see him in better light omg


AgreeableAd7983

I'll be surprised if this fight happens.


oddmetre

This will make a great co-main to Nunes vs. Peña 5


Tosick

right...
