Michael Chandler mocks Conor McGregor's "baby hands" ahead of UFC grudge fight

Michael Chandler has mocked UFC rival Conor McGregor over his "baby hands" as the pair move closer to finally announcing their highly-anticipated grudge fight.

The former world champion lightweights have both bulked up ahead of their showdown, which will signal the end of The Ultimate Fighter Season 31, and they got physical in an altercation while filming the show. McGregor was enraged when his close friend and teammate Lee Hammond lost after a dominant performance and got into the cage with Chandler where they went back-and-forth.

But it boiled over when McGregor branded Chandler a "Bellator thick" and pushed him in the face, causing the pair to square up. UFC president Dana White got in the way, preventing a premature fight between the duo, but their feud has continued on social media after the episode aired, even though it was filmed months ago.
