Injury to the Notorious, however, scuppered the joust – which was first announced last February – and seemingly pushed it back to the end of the year.
But Chandler has hinted their long-overdue showdown is now a thing of the past during an explosive X row with the Irishman.
He said: “Never mind guys…I think it’s time I finally admit the fight is off.
“He’s still in stage 2 of the 7 of grief pertaining to his career being over.
“Figured he’d be closer to 5 by now. Godspeed @TheNotoriousMMA.”
McGregor, 36, didn’t waste any time responding to Chandler’s claim, insisting he’d happily replace him with former rival Max Holloway.
He said: “Lol, ok, lil bro, Swapped out handy. @BlessedMMA what you at December?
The only thing sharper than his fashion sense is his tongue and the Dubliner has several bitter spats under his belt, including with UFC legend KhabibNurmagomedov.
That row led to one of his biggest controversies in 2018 as he travelled 3,000 miles to confront Khabib in a vicious attack on his bus.
Former two-division champion McGregor hasn’t set foot inside the octagon since breaking his left leg in his trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier three years ago.
The Irishman‘s comeback clash was Chandler was scuppered by a broken left pinky toe, which he suffered in one of his final training sessions.
It’s understood the UFC brass have earmarked their final pay-per-view of the year – UFC 310 – for the rescheduled Return of the Mac.
