      Dana White watched on awkwardly as Conor McGregor raged

      But the Irishman has got off to the worst possible start as his team of prospects have now lost FIVE consecutive times to Chandler’s veterans.
      In the latest episode, Carlos Vera lost a decision to Brad Katona, who trains at McGregor’s Straight Blast Gym in Dublin.
      All fights on the show are two five-minute rounds, one round less than the standard UFC bout.
      But if the rounds are tied, there is a deciding third round.

      McGregor felt Vera deserved one more round against Katona and fumed when the judges scored against them.
      Storming around the octagon, He said: “Give them three rounds, lads
      “We want three rounds here, judges yeah? F*** this two-round s***. It’s five rounds for a world title.
      “You ever had one of those world titles, Michael? You ever had a five-rounder?”

      McGregor then told Dana White: “Dana, tell them three rounds. Two rounds me f***ing b******s. The fight’s not over.”
      McGregor, 34, is set to make his UFC return against Chandler, 37, but the fight faces uncertainty over drug testing restrictions.
      The Notorious has been out since July 2021 when he broke his leg in the opening round against Dustin Poirier.
      And in that period of recovery, McGregor has not been in the United States Anti-Doping Agency’s all-year round testing pool.
      To return, he must complete six months of testing but the former two-weight champion is yet to be added to USADA’s online database.
      The last UFC pay-per-view of the year is set for December 16, meaning McGregor would have needed to enrol by June 16.

      The bout is yet to be announced but is set for August 26 in Poland.
      And Wilder told 78SPORTSTV: “I don’t think Usyk really cares. As long as he ain’t got to fight me.
      “I don’t think he cares, as long as he don’t have to fight me, it’s all good, because that man is terrified of me.
      “He’s dodged me so many times and I know. And don’t act like I don’t know, I don’t want anyone to come out like, ‘Usyk said this and that.’

      “It would be a lie because I know a lot of s***. I’m in the business, I know. He’s been offered a lot of money to fight me, many times.
      “But he’s denied it. They said they do not want Bomb Squad problems.”
      It is not the first time Wilder, 37, has accused the Ukrainian, 36, of not wanting to fight.
      But in June, Usyk hit back to Seconds Out: “Please stop it, I respect this man, I treat him with honour.

      Wilder is in talks for a super-fight in Saudi Arabia against Anthony Joshua, 33, and Usyk could be on the undercard.
      Eddie Hearn told Boxing Social: “It will be Filip Hrgovic. He’s next in line of Tyson Fury doesn’t take the fight, which he’s not.”

      by

      And his great rival Paul – whose brother Logan was beaten by KSI at cruiserweight in 2019 – weighed in on the row on social media.
      He said: “Tommy, I’m going to teach you a little something here.
      “KSI is a bitch, he’s all f*****g talk. He fought Logan at 193lb but wants to weight drain everybody.
      “He says, ‘Oh, I’m levels above everybody’ but then wants everybody to cut down to get them to as low as possible so that he can take advantage of them.

      “It’s not going to happen, he’s all talk, he only want to fight disabled video gamers or guys who are f****** old and f****** elbow them in the face.”
      KSI, 30, has agreed to Fury’s demand to fight at 185lb but wants another weigh in on the day to restrict their rehydration.
      And the YouTuber-turned boxer warned he has until Monday to sign the deal.
      Paul, 26, lost to Fury, 24, by split-decision in their Saudi Arabia grudge match in February but scored a knockdown in the eighth and final round.

      The American snubbed a rematch to instead return on August 5 in Texas against Nate Diaz, 38.
      But both have agreed to rematch in October if talks with KSI collapse and Paul has already started the war of words.
      He said: “Tommy as my son, I’m disappointed in you, man. I made you a millionaire, I made you famous.
      “You haven’t said thank you. You’re a p***k, you’re a bitch, you said you would wipe me across the floor, wipe me across the canvas.
      “But you’re the one that tasted the chance, you’re the one that tasted the floor in a split-decision you barely beat me.
      “So after I knock out Nate Diaz, August 5th, I’m coming for you Tommy. You better be ready, I’m coming.”

      by

      And, according to rival promoter Hearn, the Gypsy King is in line for an exhibition with ex-UFC champion Francis Ngannou.
      Hearn told Boxing Social: “I believe so, this is what I’ve heard. It will be an exhibition apparently, no knockdowns or anything.
      “I don’t know, I’m only telling you what I’ve heard. Who knows what’s what, but I think that is apparently what is gonna be the next fight.”
      Fury, 34, and Usyk, 36, saw talks for the heavyweight division’s first-ever four-belt undisputed decider collapse earlier in the year.

      And the WBC champion has so far failed in finding an opponent to welcome him back to the ring in the summer.
      Meanwhile Ngannou, 36, left the UFC when his contract expired to make a lucrative switch to boxing.
      He held talks with Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder also but Fury has also been his preferred opponent.
      And Hearn admits both heavyweight stars will be in line for mega-money paydays for their crossover blockbuster.

      He said: “Disappointing, but it is what it is. “It’s a big event, but I wanted to see him fight Oleksandr Usyk.
      “It’d be nice to get an undisputed champion, but Tyson’s in charge of his own career and I’m sure he’s gonna make a load of money, good luck to him.”
      Fury and Ngannou previously agreed on a mixed-rules bout, using boxing rules but in a cage with smaller 4oz gloves on.
      And promoter Frank Warren has teased his next fight will be a “game-changer” with an announcement eyed for as early as next week.
