UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev called Conor McGregor a chicken for pulling out of his UFC 303 fight with Michael Chandler after suffering a broken pinky toe in training.
McGregor revealed that news on Friday.
Makhachev also offered his condolences to Chandler, who he nicknamed "Hachiko."
For more information on that reference, here's a note from the WeRateDogs X account:
Chandler and McGregor were coaches on The Ultimate Fighter 31 in 2023, and this fight has been in the works for quite some time.
