McGregor commented on turning down the fight with Chandler

Conor McGregor, former UFC champion in two weight classes, commented on turning down a fight with Michael Chandler.

"It's very hard to back out of my planned comeback. I got injured before the press conference, it took longer than I had time to recover. The decision didn't come easy and was made after consulting with my doctors, the UFC and my team. My fans and my opponent deserve the best version of me in this fight and we will get it done! Thanks for the support, I'm in good spirits and I'm confident I'll be back!" - McGregor wrote on social media.
