Conor McGregor has clapped back at Michael Chandler's threat to beat him to "within an inch of his career", insisting that he is not concerned about his next opponent.
The lightweight contenders, who are expected to jump up to welterweight for their bout at the end of this season of The Ultimate Fighter, have had a relatively respectful build-up since it was confirmed that they would fight this year. But things were reportedly testy on set of the reality show, and the pair are now eager to get in the cage with one another.
McGregor is currently in America where he is preparing to enter an intensive training camp, although an issue with Anti-Doping Agency USADA is stopping him from nailing down an exact fight date. And he has vowed to return stronger than ever more than two years after his gruesome leg break cost him a large chunk of his later career.
