Brendan Schaub's Bold Statement On Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler UFC Fight /

Brendan Schaub has chimed in on the talk surrounding Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler.

McGregor is a coach on season 31 of "The Ultimate Fighter." The opposing coach is Michael Chandler, and while the UFC wanted to book a fight between the two before the end of 2023, that won't be happening. That's because McGregor didn't re-enter the USADA testing pool in time to return to action this year.

While hope is lost for a McGregor vs. Chandler bout in 2023, some don't believe the fight will happen at all. Rumors have swirled claiming that the "Notorious" one has lost interest in a showdown with Chandler.

Former UFC heavyweight Brendan Schaub took to "The Schaub Show" to express his belief that Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler will not be trading leather inside the Octagon.

"No, they're not fighting," Schaub said. "I'm finally convinced that it's probably not happening, and The Ultimate Fighter ratings are so low. Conor literally doesn't give a f***. Like even 'Wonderboy' Thompson, he went there on the last episode to help him coach. He's like, 'Yo, you're actually gonna coach today?' I think he didn't mean to say it but they put it up, it's on tape. He's like, 'Are you actually gonna help coach the kids today?' He's like, 'Yeah, I'll be in there.' You can tell he's just like, 'Hey man, they use my face. I'm here to party in Vegas and do my thing."
