Michael Chandler recently shared a one-word reaction after Conor McGregor reignited fight discussions. The Irishman has been dealing with his ongoing legal battle outside the octagon but appears to be re-interested in his long-awaited return to the octagon.

'The Notorious' and 'Iron' have been linked to a bout since serving as opposing coaches on 'The Ultimate Fighter'. The bout has failed to materialize due to McGregor not being in the USADA testing and was later scrapped from UFC 302 after the Irishman sustained a broken pinky toe, leading to his withdrawal from the event.

Chandler accepted a rematch with Charles Oliveira, two years in the making, but lost a unanimous decision. Despite the loss, the former Bellator lightweight champion's stock didn't take a significant blow as he cut a post-fight promo and kept a potential bout against McGregor alive.

After Championship Rounds posted their latest exchange on X, Chandler reposted it with a one-word reaction, indicating that the long-awaited fight against McGregor is imminent:
