Michael Chandler appears to be playing mind games with Conor McGregor ahead of his next fight.
Chandler’s highly anticipated fight against McGregor is scheduled to headline UFC 303 on June 29th at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. ‘Iron’ recently posted a photo with musician Machine Gun Kelly (aka Colson Baker), who has a history with McGregor.
“plot [Machine Gun Kelly]” Chandler wrote on social media.
McGregor and “MGK” got into an argument on the red carpet at the MTV Video Music Awards at Barclays Center in Brooklyn in September 2021. Videos showed “Notorious” lunging at the rapper and throwing drinks at him. The origins of the altercation remain a mystery to this day, as both sides chose not to reveal much about the issue.
Initial reports said McGregor asked for a photo with Baker after sending a message to MGK’s girlfriend, Megan Fox. However, Mr McGregor’s spokeswoman Karen Kessler denied the report and insisted the Irishman was not the instigator.
McGregor briefly rekindled his relationship with MGK last year after commenting on the musician’s skateboarding video.
“Watch out, we got some bad guys here,” McGregor wrote in a now-deleted tweet.
McGregor will be returning to the Octagon for the first time since July 2021 at UFC 264, when he suffered a broken leg in a three-fight loss to Dustin Poirier. Meanwhile, Chandler has also not fought since a submission loss to Dustin Poirier at UFC 281 in November 2022. .
