After the fight was called off, Michael Chandler broke his silence

The long-term rivals (left) were supposed to finally do battle on June 30 to culminate a feud that has lasted nearly two years, but they will again have to wait after the fight's cancellation.

Chandler was set to step inside the octagon for his first UFC bout since 2022 - when he lost by submission via a rear-naked choke to Dustin Poirier at UFC 281.
