The Notorious, 35, took to Instagram to vent his frustration, sharing a video of himself and Chandler and writing, "Get this f***ing date set." McGregor has been eager to make his return and recently claimed that the fight would happen on June 29, but a final date has yet to be confirmed.

MMA fans worldwide are perplexed by the UFC's choice not to have McGregor headline the historic UFC 300 card. Veteran commentator Joe Rogan revealed that the promotion did try to secure McGregor as the main event, but he won't be ready by then.
Weight Class Confusion
McGregor's claim that he and Chandler will collide at middleweight has raised eyebrows. Commenting on this, Rogan said, "That 85 is crazy, that's crazy. That's also, if you don't want to cut weight, that is the kind of way to do it."
