Michael Chandler teases huge Conor McGregor fight

Michael Chandler was quick to reply to Conor McGregor's social media jab.

McGregor branded Chandler as 'unfinished business' in a Tweet on April 22. Whether he deletes the message remains to be seen, but Chandler has capitalized on the opportunity.

Despite major career setbacks including being found liable of sexual assault, and a botched crypto scheme, McGregor is still the UFC's coveted money fight, and Chandler isn't about to waste the opportunity.

A McGregor comeback doesn't seem likely, but the UFC is in dire need of a solid headliner for International Fight Week in June. Currently, UFC 317 is headless, with reports of Dricus Du Plessis being injured, Islam Makhachev avoiding Ilia Topuria, and Jon Jones nowhere to be found.

Is the UFC negotiating the ill-fated matchup between McGregor and Chandler?
