Conor McGregor has admitted he 'wasn't happy' with Dana White's comment over a blockbuster UFC fight.
McGregor still hasn't got a UFC date as he looks to return to action, having recovered from his injury suffered against Dustin Poirier.
He broke his ankle in his defeat to Poirier at UFC 264 back in July 2021.
Michael Chandler continues to call out the 'Notorious' as he delivered an epic promo at last month's WWE Monday Night Raw.

McGregor has even mapped out his next three fights, which includes a stunning boxing match.
He wants Chandler in June before revisiting his rivalry with Nate Diaz, eyeing Mexican Independence Day at the Sphere in Las Vegas.
But White ruthlessly dismissed McGregor vs. Diaz for September.
The UFC boss' public put down hasn't gone down well with the Irishman, who 'wasn't happy' with the comment.
"I’ve got the Diaz trilogy, and that’s what I had said for the Sphere," he told talkSPORT.
"You know, there was cold water put on that in public off the bat and I wasn’t happy with that."
The 35-year-old added: "I need a discussion or conversation because if I’m not getting anything back, I’ll just drift off.
"So, I hope I can get something in and get dialled in."
McGregor and Diaz have shared the famed Octagon twice and are 1-1 in their incredible series.
The American shocked the MMA world when he submitted his rival at UFC 196 back in March 2016.
But McGregor exacted revenge a few months later at UFC 202 as he edged out a decision victory in their rematch.
A trilogy bout has been mooted but has yet to come to fruition.
Diaz, however, is no longer with the MMA leaders, having left the promotion following the expiration of his UFC deal.
Despite not being contracted with the UFC, he continues to be linked with a third meeting against McGregor.
