As of this writing, Chandler hasn’t responded to Covington’s Instagram posts. He released his first statement since the UFC 303 cancelation, which you can read here.

Chandler hasn’t fought since a loss to Dustin Poirier at UFC 281. He and McGregor seemed destined for an Octagon collision after their time coaching opposite each other on The Ultimate Fighter 31.

McGregor hasn’t competed since a loss to Poirier by doctor’s stoppage at UFC 264. He suffered a nasty leg break, and it’s uncertain if this new injury is related to his previously compromised leg.

Covington is targeting a return to the Octagon later in 2024 after a loss to UFC welterweight titleholder Leon Edwards at UFC 296. He was briefly linked to a fight with Ian Garry before Garry was booked to face Michael ‘Venom’ Page at UFC 303.

In one of the most disappointing moments of his career, Chandler got an ears-full from Covington, and the wait on whether or not the McGregor fight will come to fruition continues.
