Mike Perry recently reacted with unfiltered humor while shedding light on the ongoing back-and-forth between Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler regarding a potential fight. Perry dismissed the exchange with a cheeky jab in what according to many fans has become a drawn-out saga.
McGregor, who hasn’t fought since his 2021 loss to Dustin Poirier, has been struggling with legal troubles outside the cage. While he has been teasing a fight against Chandler, logistical delays and injuries have kept the matchup in limbo.
Meanwhile, Chandler, continues to campaign for the fight, despite a recent setback against Charles Oliveira at UFC 309. The former three-time Bellator lightweight champion has consistently positioned himself as McGregor’s ideal comeback opponent, leveraging their shared stint on The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) to stoke fan interest.
The pair reignited buzz around their long-anticipated fight with a spirited exchange on X. Chandler referenced their playful interaction during the TUF coaches' challenge, daring 'The Notorious' to follow through on his promise to face him. McGregor responded confidently, suggesting he’ll meet Chandler “at the top.”

Dana White sheds light on Conor McGregor's potential UFC return
Conor McGregor’s UFC return remains uncertain, with Dana White confirming it won't happen until next year. The Irishman hasn’t fought since his 2021 defeat to Dustin Poirier, where he suffered a broken leg.
Adding to his challenges, McGregor recently faced legal trouble, with an Irish jury finding him liable for assault and ordering him to pay significant damages. While he plans to appeal, his legal battles have cast doubt on his UFC future.
Despite speculation, the UFC has refrained from commenting on disciplinary actions. Shedding light on the timeline of McGregor's potential return at the UFC 310 post-fight press conference, White said:
"If I had a comment [about McGregor's ongoing case] I would have put it out already. He hasn't been fighting here in how long? If he does fight it will be sometime next year."
