In a recent teaser from the upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF), Conor McGregor can be seen meeting Michael Chandler for the first time since their opposing coaching roles were announced.
True to his style, 'The Notorious' immediately initiated his infamous mental warfare on 'Iron' and told him they'd potentially fight at 185 pounds. Chandler retorted, saying he could do the fight at that weight, to which McGregor brashly replied:
"You'll do what you're told."
Fans of Conor McGregor were reminded of his unique ability to weaponize trash talk and praised him for it in the comments section of the YouTube video.

Dustin Poirier on Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler
If there's anyone who could predict the outcome of Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler, it's Dustin Poirier. 'The Diamond' handed both the striking savants their most recent octagon losses.
In a recent interview with Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour, Poirier was asked for his thoughts on the highly anticipated matchup between McGregor and Chandler. Predicting the Irishman to emerge victorious, he stated:
"I think that if Conor comes back anything like he was with his timing and rhythm... If he comes back similar to who he was before he left, I think he stops Michael Chandler... If Conor is who he was before the injury and stuff, I think two rounds — I think the fight’s over in two rounds.”
While there is no official date set for the bout between Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler, Dana White recently suggested that the UFC could be looking to book the bout towards the end of the year. He revealed that the event could take place at the Madison Square Garden in November or December.
