Michael Chandler sets out plan to 'force' Conor McGregor into agreeing fight date

Michael Chandler is planning to force Conor McGregor into finally putting together a fight date after the pair have spent time coaching on The Ultimate Fighter.

The former Bellator champion has been picked as McGregor's comeback opponent after two years out of the Octagon, but no date has been named for their fight. They are competing as rivals on the reality show before a venue and day will be found for the pair to fight in the finale.

However, McGregor still has yet to be tested by the US Anti-Doping Agency after taking time away from the pool while recovering from a broken leg. He will need a six-month period in the pool and two negative tests before the fight is able to take place, meaning he would need to join the pool in the next few days in order to book a September date.
