Michael Chandler gives up on Conor McGregor: “I finally admit the fight is off”

Michael Chandler is finally ready to move on from Conor McGregor — or is he?

The former Bellator champion has been patiently waiting for nearly two years as McGregor’s quote-unquote “greatest comeback in combat sports history” continues to shift dates as often as the wind blows. In June, it appeared the wait would finally pay off as the two were scheduled to headline UFC 303 in Las Vegas. Unfortunately, the fight never came to fruition after the Irishman bowed out due to of all things, a broken pinky toe.

Taking to social media, Chandler appears to have hit his breaking point, writing that “the fight is off” and claiming McGregor simply can’t cope with the reality of his career being over.
