UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev took a shot at Michael Chandler on Tuesday, one day after Chandler said he had been offered the opportunity to fight Makhachev.
Chandler posted Monday on X that he was offered on October title bout with Makhachev, but expressed his desire to face Conor McGregor at Sphere in Las Vegas instead:
Makhachev responded Tuesday, calling Chandler "unreliable" and noting that he wants a "real opponent."
Chandler had been scheduled to clash with McGregor at UFC 303, which took place last weekend, but the fight was postponed due to McGregor suffering an injury.
