"Listen to this dude," Chandler said while playing McGregor's rant on Team Chandler after his first TUF 31 win as a coach. "How would you like to be the guy who wins his first fight and then tries to freaking start a fight with my entire team? You dork. 'Team here today, gone tomorrow,' get out of here, dude. Team here today, gone tomorrow just went 7-1 against your dudes. You suck as a coach."
Many have been wondering if McGregor vs. Chandler will take place as planned. UFC President Dana White has admitted it's hard to keep McGregor motivated to fight when he has a slew of money.
Time will tell if McGregor vs. Chandler comes to fruition, but the banter between the two is certainly alive and well.
