Conor McGregor admits "tempers flared" with Michael Chandler during "hostile" showdown

Conor McGregor has suggested his issue with Michael Chandler has now been resolved ahead of their UFC meeting.

McGregor has been out of action for almost two years after breaking his leg, but recently announced his long-awaited return to the octagon will take place against Chandler later this year. His comeback outing is part of the UFC's latest instalment of The Ultimate Fighter series, with McGregor and Chandler currently filming in Las Vegas for the coaching stint of the event.

With both men competing against each other to win the competition, tensions threatened to spill over while on set as the pair were involved in a number of spats over their differences. However McGregor has now insisted the tense moments were natural in rivalry and confirmed he still has respect for his upcoming opponent.
