Michael Chandler sent a message to Conor McGregor almost a full year after their UFC 303 showdown was canceled.
UFC stars Michael Chandler and Conor McGregor would end up in a long-awaited confrontation on UFC 303 last year. But weeks before the event, McGregor withdrew due to a toe injury and Chandler was not converted for the map against a replacement opponent.
It has been almost four years since McGregor has appeared in combat sports since his trilogy with Dustin Poirier on UFC 264. While UFC CEO Dana White is hopeful, McGregor will return to the end of the year, a timeline for the MMA Comeback of the former Tweedivisie- Champion remains foggy.
In the meantime, McGregor got a few newspaper heads during the weekend when he promised a future appearance in the Bare Knuckle FC Ring. Since he became a partial owner last year, McGregor is one of the largest promoters in BKFC and is a huge reason for the rapid growth in promotion.

Chandler ended his long waiting time for McGregor by former UFC Lightweight Champion Charles Oliveira in the CO-Main event in the UFC 309-CO-Main event in November and lost through a unanimous decision. But a late Rally from Chandler in the final rounds kept his stock high with Vecht fans and experts.
After the loss for Oliveira, Chandler called McGregor again, but McGregor remains uninterested to make the fight take place. Almost four years since his last UFC fight, the possible UFC return from McGregor is still discredited by fans while the clock taps.
In recent weeks, Chandler has been linked to a potential confrontation with rising lightweight star paddy pimblett. But from this letter nothing has been made officially, despite the fact that Pimblett reveals a possible date for his next fight.
While Chandler remains in a relentless striving for McGregor, his patience is probably starting to become thin. Time will learn whether the two stars will clash in the Octagon in 2025 or then.
