Representatives for Irish megastar Conor McGregor snapped back at a recent claim made by Chael Sonnen.
Originally scheduled to step back inside the Octagon at UFC 303 for a long-awaited clash with former Bellator MMA champion Michael Chandler, ‘Mystic Mac’ bowed out of the bout weeks ahead of fight night due to an undisclosed injury.
In the days following the news, Sonnen suggested that McGregor had withdrawn not because of an injury, but because he was in rehab.
“What an incredible irony that both sides have these massive interests in alcohol and one side is in the middle of rehab for substance abuse including alcohol,” Sonnen said.
