Conor McGregor’s latest partying video may have cost him a fight date with Michael Chandler.

Earlier this week, McGregor went viral when he was seen partying with fans in New Jersey.

A day after the video of Conor partying went viral, Chandler announced that he was taking a fight against Charles Oliviera in November and blasted his rival on Instagram.

“The simple fact of the matter is you’re the most unreliable human being that has ever graced mixed martial arts, so what am I going to do? I’m going to fight Charles Oliveira,” said Chandler.

“If Conor can finally get his house in order, if he can finally string together a couple of sober days, string together a couple of days where he’s actually training and actually feeling good and he can actually finally make good on his promise to make the greatest comeback in combat sports history if he can finally pony up then I will fight Conor after Charles Oliveira.”

A furious McGregor was caught by suprise by Chandler’s announcement and offered to fight Chandler in November.

“As far as Chandler rematching Oliveira, I’m happy with the date, it’s November….I’m just a bit out of the loop with it, all I can do is carry on doing what I’m doing.”

A confused McGregor is now asking for the Saudis to intervene and wants to fight outside the UFC.

“So I’ve been tested more than twice all these other athletes, yet I struggle to get a date. So, I’ve talked to Sheikh Turki , and said, ‘Sheikh Turki, can you assist me here?’”

“I have two fights left on my UFC contract, my opponent that I was scheduled to fight has rescheduled another bout. I would love maybe an exemption, or maybe a joint partnership, Bare Knuckle-UFC. Similar to McGregor Sports and Entertainment and Mayweather Promotions. Some sort of agreement where we can get busy.

“I need to be busy, and right now I’m working to get there. So, let’s what happens. Like I said, I have two fights left on the contract, and it’s taking a minute, but you know, patience is one of the most important skills a human being can possess, study, learn, and implement, and that’s where I’m at right now.”
