Conor McGregor posts surprising six-word tweet about Chelsea Chandler after latter's loss to Yana Santos at UFC Vegas 95
Conor McGregor once again confused his fans, this time with a post on Chelsea Chandler after UFC Vegas 95.
Chandler’s UFC career has been marked by consistent weight-cutting issues, and her latest misstep was another setback. The bantamweight contender weighed in at a hefty 141 pounds, a full six pounds over the non-title fight limit. Despite the disadvantage, her opponent Yana Santos delivered a dominant performance, securing a much-needed victory.
Santos' aggressive fighting style and Chandler's weight issues combined to create a one-sided contest. The Russian veteran showcased improved skills and secured a clear decision win, re-establishing herself in the 135-pound rankings.
Surprisingly, 'The Notorious' took to social media to offer unexpected support to Chandler. In a concise six-word post on X, McGregor declared:
"Chelsea Chandler is a good girl 💯"

Daniel Cormier believes Conor McGregor–Khabib Nurmagomedov rivalry unresolvable
Daniel Cormier has poured cold water on the possibility of a reconciliation between Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov. The two former champions have been locked in a bitter rivalry since their infamous 2018 bout, which culminated in a chaotic post-fight brawl.
Despite the passage of time, Cormier believes the animosity between the pair is deeply entrenched and unlikely to dissipate. He suggested that a potential victory for McGregor over Michael Chandler, leading to a title shot against Islam Makhachev, might be the closest thing to closure for the rivalry.
In a recent video on his YouTube channel, Cormier had this to say on the matter:
"No. They are not letting it go [their rivalry]. It's deep rooted. They don't like each other. It's deep. It's very deep. I think the closest thing you could get to resolution in that is Conor beating Mike [Chandler] and earning a championship fight against Islam Makhachev."
