A former UFC veteran made some unsavory claims against Conor McGregor after he pulled out of UFC 303.
On the ESPN show 'Good guy / bad guy', talking about the recent fallout of the UFC 303 main event, Daniel Cormier brought up the fact that Michael Chandler gifted him a box full of ingredients for a specialty drink for when he knocks out the Irishman. Chael Sonnen came up with a fiery reply when he touched on the irony of the situation:
"What an incredible irony that both sides have these massive interests in alcohol and one side is in the middle of a rehab for substance abuse including alcohol, not that that has anything to do with this."

"It was unrelated. Two guys pushing alcohol and another guy is in rehab for alcohol and other substances. I’m just saying that’s a tough story to tell. Not for nothing, that gets to be a little bit tough."
The fight between Michael Chandler and Conor McGregror has been postponed indefinitely and the lack of any clear reasoning behind the fallout has irked fans.

Conor McGregor has had a history of facing allegations, some truer than others
Conor McGregor has been in and out of serious criminal charges, faced a myriad of accusations, and has a personality that splits any room. All this tells us is that this is not the first rodeo for 'The Notorious'. He has always been a crowd darling despite having no love lost with the law.
Punching an old man in a bar, infidelity allegations, embezzling money, substance abuse, attacking a referee, are merely some of the taints on his career. However, this has done nothing but juiced his marketability quotient even further as evidenced by the $20 million+ gate for his now-canceled bout.
The motive behind Conor McGregor's reluctance to reveal the reason for his pull out is uncertain, but what is acutely certain is that 'Mystic Mac's' appearance under the big lights will always be a widely celebrated affair in the combat sports community.
