Conor McGregor's deleted tweet – UFC 303

The UFC has remained relatively silent on McGregor's toe injury, as has UFC CEO Dana White. White told Robbie Fox Friday night that options for McGregor's return taking place in August, September or October are "none of the above."

Chandler, who met with assembled media Saturday night, expressed a different perspective when it comes to the UFC's negotiations.

Chandler met with UFC brass Friday night and said he isn't letting McGregor "off the hook," nor is he looking past the Irishman. Chandler said he and the UFC "are working on some things" surrounding the McGregor fight, hence an announcement may be coming from the UFC sooner rather than later.
