With Conor McGregor fight canceled, Gilbert Burns sheds light on what he would have done if he were Michael Chandler

Gilbert Burns recently shed light on how he likely would have reacted if he were in Michael Chandler's position following his bout against Conor McGregor being canceled. Dana White officially announced that the bout was off UFC 303 due to the Irishman sustaining an injury, which resulted in the promotion scrambling to book replacement bouts.

McGregor vs. Chandler was scheduled to serve as the main event of UFC 303 on June 29, which is the culmination of the promotion's annual International Fight Week. It was a highly anticipated bout as it marked McGregor's first bout since 2021 and set the record for the highest gate in the promotion's history.

Burns, who also happens to be 'Iron's teammate at Kill Cliff, recently took to his X account to weigh in on the bout being canceled for UFC 303. The former welterweight title challenger posed a question to his followers and mentioned that he wouldn't have been so patient with the Irishman. He wrote:

"If you were Michael Chandler would you wait for that [money bag emoji] Conor fight, or would you move over? Let me know. I will be done a long time with all this waiting."
