He'll put them panties on when he's told
A very valid point about Woodburn.He's desperate and everyone knows it
https://www.si.com/fannation/wrestling/mma/michael-chandler-conor-mcgregor#:~:text=“Obviously being in the USADA,we do all the time.”
“That, to me, is a very gray area. I can fight Conor with one day in the USADA testing pool or one year in the USADA testing pool. It’s not going to make a difference. Obviously being in the USADA testing is a prerequisite to being in the UFC. What I’m saying is, are we splitting hairs with the whole, ‘He’s got to be in for six months’ thing? How long was Bo Nickal’s opponent [Val Woodburn] in the USADA testing pool? This is what we do all the time.”
Not really. The exemption exists specifically for cases that can't be planned for. If they had no exemption, then they'd never be able to fill in a lost fight with a new fighter. Imagine how many fight cancelations that would result in.A very valid point about Woodburn.

Their specific language is "An Athlete who gives notice of retirement to UFC, or has otherwise ceased to have a contractual relationship with UFC due to Athlete-Initiated Inactivity, may not resume competing in UFC Bouts until he/she has given UFC written notice of his/her intent to resume competing and has made him/herself available for Testing for a period of six months before returning to competition.” and
“UFC may grant an exemption to the six-month written notice rule in exceptional circumstances or where the strict application of that rule would be manifestly unfair to an Athlete provided that in either instance the Athlete provides a minimum of two negative Samples before returning to competition.”
It's unfair to apply that to Wooburn because they obviously couldn't plan for and test him 6 months when he wasn't in the program. But Conor IS. He opted out of testing for medical reasons, and the ability to do that, while still being under USADA then just re-enter with an exemption for a fully booked fight would set an INSANE precedent for people to just make their own cycles.
Except it isn't.A very valid point about Woodburn.
Fight will happen
Conor will win
sherdog will say chandler took a dive
Chandler can’t afford to wait around if he wants another shot at the title.
but I don’t think he’s interested in a title anymore. He desperately wants that red panty night.
What do you mean? Conors guy got the best win and was tuf champion and got a bonusMcGoober is shook at CHADlers attitude and coaching acumen. CHADler is not scared of him and doesn't care about his status. He just wants to fight.
McGoober has trouble with opponents who aren't trembling in his presence.
