‘This is so f***ing cool’, say UFC fans as Conor McGregor called out live on WWE Raw
CONOR McGREGOR was called out by Michael Chandler live on WWE Raw – leaving fans of both promotions in awe.
The UFC pair have been slated to fight ever since filming on reality show The Ultimate Fighter last summer.
But talks to get the blockbuster bout have dragged, leaving Chandler in the lurch.
So the American made the most of the UFC’s recent merger with the WWE to get his point across to two sets of fans.
Chandler roared: “Hey, what’s up Anaheim! You are now in the presence of the most entertaining UFC fighter on the planet.
“Hey, now there’s a man from Ireland that’s been making me wait for way too long, and I’ve still got one dude on my mind!
“Conor McGregor, get your candy ass back to the octagon! We’ve got some unfinished business, boys! God bless. I’ll see you at the top!”
The UFC and WWE joined forces in September in a £17BILLION deal as part of a newly-formed unified company called TKO.
So fans of both powerhouses absolutely loved Chandler’s cameo on Raw.
One said: “Once again if you’re a fan of both this is so f***ing cool.”

Another added: “This is truly a brand new show and I’m in love with it.”
McGregor, 35, has been out the octagon since July 2021 when he broke his leg against Dustin Poirier, 34.
And he brazenly took to social media before the new year to announce he was fighting Chandler, 37, on June 29 at MIDDLEWEIGHT.
But UFC president Dana White was quick to shut down the claim and instead revealed the fight could be delayed till winter.
He told Pat McAfee: “Hopefully this year. There is no date. I’m hoping for the fall, [hopefully] we get it done in the fall.”
