The fight between McGregor and Chandler has been planned since the two served as rival coaches for 'The Ultimate Fighter 31' last year. The two were slated to face each other in a welterweight contest at UFC 303, however, a toe injury sustained while training forced McGregor to withdraw himself from the bout.

In light of recent events, Chandler also responded on social media to White's confirmation that McGregor won't be making a comeback to competition this year, writing:

''Ah conor, the sport will move on and thrive without you. Put to bed. Laid to rest. Soon a distant memory. You’ve vastly overestimated your importance inside of this game for almost a decade. Godspeed.''

''Dana has been very clear in the last two weeks that Conor McGregor is not fighting this year.
