UFC fans urge Michael Chandler to ‘Start juicing’ ahead of 2024 fight with Conor McGregor amid USADA rift

With Conor McGregor at the forefront of the UFC’s very public breakup with USADA, fight fans want the Irishman’s next opponent, Michael Chandler to even the odds and start juicing up.

It’s been an absolutely insane 72 hours for the Las Vegas-based promotion after two of its marquee fighters, Charles Oliveira and Paulo Costa, dropped out of UFC 294 days away from fight night. Fortunately, the promotion was able to lock in some pretty impressive replacements, but amid all the chaos was the news that the United States Anti-Doping Agency would not be working with the UFC beyond December 31, 2023, ending an eight-year relationship that saw fighters tested more than 27,000 times.
