Islam Makhachev, UFC lightweight champion, reacted to the news that Conor McGregor, the promotion's former two-weight champion, has withdrawn from his bout against Michael Chandler due to a fractured pinky finger.
"You don't need a pinky finger to fight. Lol. Chicken!!! And my condolences to Michael 'Hatiko' Chandler," Makhachev ironically wrote on social media.
Recall, McGregor's fight with Chandler was scheduled to take place on June 29 and headline UFC 303.
