Michael Chandler has claimed UFC legend Conor McGregor made him wait before the pair spent 30 minutes in an awkward staredown which was only shown on TV for a few seconds.
Fans saw a brief interaction between the pair on last night's debut of The Ultimate Fighter, with a preview clip going viral in which the Irishman roasted his American rival. But Chandler has revealed that the pair were actually in the gym for 30 minutes while filming was set up, making for an uncomfortable scenario.
The duo are set to fight at the end of the year, with McGregor expected to return to the USADA drug testing pool shortly in order to knock down their booking's final stumbling block. And even in the brief piece of footage shown last night, the tension can be sensed between the two, even though they were cordial at first.
