While the UFC hasn’t officially confirmed the bout, fans have taken McGregor’s announcement to heart, and so has Chandler. The former Bellator lightweight champion is already preparing for the biggest fight of his career and recently shared some workout footage.

In a recent post on X, ‘Iron’ showed off his strength by pulling one of his training partners in the gym and promoting his personal fitness program on the ‘Walk On Fitness’ application. He wrote:

“The people you surround yourself with are either the wind in your sails or the anchor holding you back. In this case, @jholt_athelite and I are both of those things for each other – join us at @walkonfitness. Walk On. See you at the top!”

In response, McGregor went on a posting spree on X and mocked Chandler’s video by belittling his next potential opponent’s power and physique. He wrote:

“I can bench-press ten Chandlers.”

The Irishman followed up with a post joking about Chandler’s championship record in the UFC:

“Lifting belts > Lifting weights.”

‘The Notorious’ also posted two photos comparing his physique to Chandler’s and wrote:

“Coming soon on PPV muhahahaha.”
