Michael Chandler reacts to Conor McGregor missing the USADA return deadline: ‘Where the fook is that guy?’

UFC lightweight Michael Chandler speaks on Conor McGregor not entering back into the USADA testing pool.

So, the chances of a long-awaited McGregor return are getting slimmer and slimmer by the week. After it was announced that McGregor would coach opposite Chandler of season 31 of The Ultimate Fighter, it seemed almost certain that he would square off with his rival chance towards the end of the year.

The real hurdle was McGregor re-entering the USADA testing pool for six months while, and passing two drug tests. But, as time passed, the can kept being kicked down the road and while different parties ensured us that an announcement was imminent, McGregor has still not re-entered, missing the cut-off point for the last PPV card of the year and putting real doubts on whether the matchup will ever take place.
