Conor McGregor vs Michael Chandler potential location revealed
Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler, which is scheduled for later this year, may serve as the headliner draw to bring the UFC to AT&T Stadium in Dallas, according to Dana White. However, it is only one possible choice.
White told Fanatics View, “People were asking me earlier about the Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler fight and [wondering] where it will be. “We’re still sort of figuring that out; we don’t know yet.”
“But you have to have the right fight to go to [AT&T] Stadium. This year, Conor and Chandler will compete on The Ultimate Fighter. The fight will be much more significant because they are coaching it and because it will air for the first time on the ESPN network. Dallas’ [AT&T] Stadium might be used.”
Again, no venue has been chosen, and White repeated several times that AT&T Stadium is merely a possibility and by no means a lock.
Greta Thunberg slammed by UFC middleweight fighter
Greta Thunberg is a well-known environmental activist and a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize. She has recently discussed the threat posed by the climate problem in tweets. Meanwhile, a middleweight UFC fighter named Sean Strickland immediately replied to her on social media.
Yo retard you’re literally using a phone as we speak… A phone made in some polluting factory in China, lithium that takes massive amount of water and waste…..
Can we please just throw this idiot in a forest somewhere…. https://t.co/DlqPQzNsYr
— Sean Strickland (@SStricklandMMA) March 21, 2023
“Tarzan” was blunt in his response to the young environmentalist. He counseled her to think about her actions before tweeting. Strickland remarked that the smartphone she was using included lithium, which uses a lot of water in its production. Then he made an unexpected request of the Twitterverse. “Can we just toss this idiot somewhere in a jungle,” he said.

UFC News round up: Leon Edwards points out Dana White Privilege
Leon Edwards remains unwavering in response to Colby Covington becoming his next opponent: It won’t occur. The current welterweight champion appeared on The MMA Hour after defeating Kamaru Usman unanimously at UFC 286 in London. When Usman lost to Edwards in their series, ending their conflict, UFC President Dana White revealed that Covington would be Edwards’ next title challenger.
Edwards voiced doubt that Covington deserved another championship opportunity at the UFC 286 post-fight news conference, and he expanded on that view on Monday.
“I undoubtedly have a voice,” Edwards declared. “Listen, he won’t be fighting for the title next time. See the route I had to travel to get there? For years, Khamzat [Chimaev] and I criticized one another. I was paired up with this person three times in a row. I accepted the challenge from Chimerov, but Covington declined, and now he is being rewarded. I was eliminated from the rankings when it was me. So, “Dana White privilege” is unquestionably real.”
