“May 15th and July 10th. You can score,” Chandler wrote.
The trilogy between McGregor and Poirier began to take a hit after Dustin made it public that the 'Notorious' did not fulfill his promise to donate US$500 (around R$2.860 million) to the foundation he manages. The amount was agreed upon during the promotion of the UFC 257, held in January.
Irritated by the situation, Conor took to social media to respond to the accusation. In his defense, the Irishman stated that the North American should have updated his team on the final destination of the US$500.
To make matters worse, McGregor ended the discussion by stating that he will not face Dustin. The athlete, however, made it clear that he will continue in the show, confirmed for July 10th.
Following the 'virtual fight' between the Irishman and Poirier from afar, Chandler is preparing for one of the most important fights of his career. In May, at UFC 262, the North American or From the Bronx will have the opportunity to take over the post left by Khabib Nurmagomedov, who abandoned the title and will dedicate himself to his coaching career.
May 15 and July 10…book it! #backtoback
