Michael Chandler has rubbished fan theories that Conor McGregor will pull out of the pair's expected fight at the end of the year following The Ultimate Fighter.
Chandler and McGregor are coaching against one another on this season of The Ultimate Fighter, with the American currently 3-0 up in the opening bouts of the series. The season was filmed earlier this year, and since then the Irishman has been spotted drinking and partying around the world, with their fight date seeming as far away as ever.
But the former Bellator lightweight champion is confident that his rival will show up when their fight date is confirmed at the end of the year. He has urged fans to remain patient as the UFC put together their year-end pay-per-view schedule, with December and November dates in Las Vegas and New York still unannounced.
