UFC’s Conor McGregor Called Out During WWE Raw WWE

On tonight’s episode of WWE Raw, an appearance by a fellow TKO roster member who challenged Conor McGregor to a fight.

Michael Chandler made an appearance in the crowd at WWE Raw tonight in Anaheim, California.

Tonight’s Monday Night Raw comes on the heels of the UFC 298 event, also at the Honda Center in Anaheim.

However, Chandler had something to say as he took a microphone and cut a promo on UFC fighter Conor McGregor.

Deriding McGregor for his absence from the sport, Chandler told him to “get his ass back to the Octagon,” and fight him.

Fans also noticed the WrestleMania logo was seemingly purposely in shot during Chandler’s promo, which may or may not mean something.

A UFC pay-per-view bout between Chandler and McGregor has been expected with McGregor teasing a potential return as early as June whereas later comments from UFC President Dana White has suggested the fight is more likely for later in the Fall.

Conor McGregor has been out of action since suffering a leg injury at UFC 264 while taking on Dustin Poirier.

While UFC and WWE remain separate brands, they are now owned by the same parent company in TKO which has begun positioning events to coincide with one another, such as this weekend’s stint in Anaheim.

Elsewhere on tonight’s WWE Raw appearing at ringside, a group that was just announced as being ‘from Netflix’ as the flagship WWE show is set for a switch to the streaming service also in Fall 2024.
