# Michael Chandler ‘conspiracy’ with Machine Gun Kelly ahead of UFC 303 fight with Conor McGregor
Michael Chandler has engaged in some strategizing with Machine Gun Kelly before his highly anticipated fight with Conor McGregor.
On Saturday, June 29, the Irish superstar will make his comeback to the Octagon after nearly three years as the headliner at UFC 303 in the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Shortly before the fight, ‘Iron’ seems to be toying with McGregor by posting a picture with Grammy-nominated artist Machine Gun Kelly.
McGregor and MGK, whose real name is Colson Baker, almost came to blows during a brief altercation at the 2021 MTV Music Awards. The reason behind the near scuffle remains unknown, but speculations quickly emerged suggesting it was due to animosity. It was rumored that the incident stemmed from McGregor allegedly sending a direct message to Kelly’s girlfriend, actress Megan Fox.
However, McGregor’s representatives denied these allegations.
Chandler recently shared a photo with Kelly, which was clearly perceived as a dig at McGregor.
“63 days… plotting with @machinegunkelly” Chandler mentioned on Twitter.
McGregor addressed the situation with Entertainment Tonight after Kelly chose not to comment on the confrontation with him. ”
“Nothing happened at all. I have no idea. He showed up, but I don’t know. I don’t know the guy. Nothing happened to me; I’m a true fighter, someone who actually fights. You know what I mean? I don’t fight the little vanilla boy rapper. I don’t even know who the guy is with Megan Fox. I don’t know anything about him other than that.”
Following the incident, McGregor reignited his feud with MGK by commenting on a video of Kelly skateboarding on social media. “Be careful, there are some bad guys around.” McGregor wrote in a post that has since been deleted.
