We’re officially through six episodes of this season’s The Ultimate Fighter and Michael Chandler’s team is currently 6-0 over Conor McGregor‘s squad.
It’s been incredibly one-sided so far and things reached a boiling point when we finally witnessed what led to McGregor’s face push that’s been heavily advertised.
Episode seven is set to be released on Tuesday, July 11 and there could be a lot more back and forth between the two UFC stars.
However, in the mean time, Michael Chandler took the trash talking to Twitter as he bashed Conor McGregor’s hand size on Sunday night.
Chandler took the opportunity to poke at McGregor when he quote tweeted an image of Conor shoving his face.
Look at how small @TheNotoriousMMA hands are. That’s probably the biggest reason I barely felt the push. Much bigger muscles these days…but still the same TINY hands. ✋🏼 pic.twitter.com/vnLC6gl8qE

From there, Michael Chandler went on about a two-hour Twitter rant with Conor McGregor’s hand size being the subject.
I will say…I hadn’t spent a lot of time around Conor before the show…but that was the first thing I noticed – disproportionately small hands.

Chandler definitely didn’t hold back on the speculation of McGregor using steroids.
Like the rest of his body, lots of inflammation and puffiness…but even with the puffiness…very small hands, like a newborn baby’s hands.

Does anybody else notice how weird that thumb looks in this picture?
Yep….just confirmed with Kevin from the UFC equipment team…They sent a picture of his custom gloves. I mean, teeeeny tiny. pic.twitter.com/lxZKcTdnjN

He even had rebuttals with fans trying to point out McGregor’s hands are not small.
There is a term in cinema we use called “spatial recency” that says the closer and object is to the camera on a lateral plane that said object will look bigger…be better Belo…Conor has tiny hands…I spent 5 weeks with him. https://t.co/dIlz7FHoeL

Chandler was in full troll mode on Sunday night.
Yep!! This is proof… https://t.co/VUw0u6o48I

It was actually pretty funny to see Chandler go on a Twitter rant like this, as it’s a bit outside of the norm for him.
Despite that, many are still wondering if these two ever fight at all. Especially considering there are no reports of McGregor entering the USADA pool yet.
Maybe we’ll have more clarity on the matter once The Ultimate Fighter reaches its conclusion.
It’s possible Dana White and the UFC are keeping things under wraps until then. But that’s simply speculation for now.
Look for Conor McGregor to respond at some point, as he’s never shy to talk trash with anybody.
