Michael Chandler leaves UFC fans perplexed with latest Conor McGregor callout

“Iron” used an unexpected platform to once again call for a fight with McGregor.

Now closing in on a year since their failed fight booking, Michael Chandler apparently still hasn’t given up hope of meeting Conor McGregor in the UFC.

The former Bellator champion coached opposite McGregor on The Ultimate Fighter: Season 31 back in 2023 with the expectation that the pair would fight after the season, but the matchup failed to materialize before the end of the year and was pushed to 2024.

“The Notorious” famously withdrew from their fight due to a broken toe shortly before UFC 303 last June, leaving Chandler to finally move on and meet Charles Oliveira in a rematch in November before he most recently took on Paddy Pimblett in the co-main event of UFC 314.

Losses to Oliveira and Pimblett put Chandler on the second three-fight skid of his career, and this week “Iron” unexpectedly took to Threads to either tease plans for a fight with McGregor or attempt to coax the Irishman back to the Octagon early next year.

“Conor!!! 1/24/26”

The UFC calendar is currently only mapped out through UFC 320 on September 13. Chandler’s mention of an event on January 24 would more than likely be the promotion’s first PPV offering of 2026, as the UFC typically takes several weeks off from late December into early January.

McGregor’s UFC Return Still Largely In Doubt

It’s unclear if Chandler has had any discussions with the UFC regarding a matchup with McGregor for next year, but “The Notorious” has been largely silent regarding any talk of a comeback fight as of late.

Following’s McGregor’s knockout-win over Eddie Alvarez to become a two-division UFC champion and his boxing match with Floyd Mayweather the following year, the Irishman challenged Khabib Nurmagomedov to try and reclaim the lightweight belt at UFC 229 but was submitted in the fourth round.

The 36-year-old returned more than two years later to defeat Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone in 40 seconds at UFC 246, but it’s now been nearly four years since McGregor last stepped into the Octagon for a trilogy bout with Dustin Poirier that saw the UFC star suffer his second loss in a row to “The Diamond” due to an injury at the end of the first round.

He got pushed in the face and didn’t do anything back. UFC and the fans stopped caring after that happened like 5 years ago.

What if the equestrian being whipped is still alive?

I don’t see how Conor hasn’t been sued by the UFC for breach of contract by now. Is it because he’s still “injured”

Chandler’s gonna’ fuck around and wait for this fight, and end up running straight into a left hand by Conor and get knocked out…Chandler cooked prime years of his career waiting for this and has nothing but losses to show for it

Only Chandler knows for sure, but there’s no question he’s teasing a potential Conor McGregor fight, yet again, after losing the chance to battle his fellow TUF 31 coach last June. Whether or not anyone cares about either combatant by 2026 remains to be seen.

The current trajectory has “Notorious” irrelevant by 50 and dead by 57.

McGregor, who turns 37 in July, has not competed since breaking his leg against Dustin Poirier back in summer 2021. In the years that followed, he went to war with USADA, lost a highly-publicized civil suit, and broke his pinky toe while training for his UFC comeback.
