One remarked: “Knew this was all too good to be true man.”
Another chimed in: “The UFC could seriously live to regret not stacking the rest of that card.”
One baffled fight fan said: “Until the lights dim and Foggy Dew / Hypnotize plays in the arena, I refuse to believe this fight is happening.”
Another frustrated MMA watcher said: “Fight is 100% getting cancelled too lol”
Neither McGregor, Chandler or UFC bigwig Dana White have publicly commented on the postponing of the event.
Former two-division champion McGregor hasn’t set foot inside the octagon since breaking his left leg in his trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier nearly three years ago.
