Michael Chandler is a patient man. But the former contender is growing restless waiting for fight news involving himself and Conor McGregor.
Upon hearing that the UFC 300 main event is now official – and does not include Chandler – the ex-Bellator champion opted to take in some other TKO action.
“See yall at (WWE Raw),” Chandler posted on social media.
Raw took place from the Honda Center in Anaheim, California just days after also hosting UFC 298.
