"This stuff makes you lose fans" - Fans outraged as Michael Chandler "plots" against Conor McGregor with rapper Machine Gun Kelly

Fans are not pleased with Michael Chandler's latest social media collaboration.

As he counts down the days until his pay-per-view main event fight with Conor McGregor, Chandler shared a post on X "plotting" for the fight with American rapper Colson Baker, known professionally as Machine Gun Kelly. Chandler shared a picture with the 34-year-old from an undisclosed location, presumably in Florida as he enters training camp with his team at Kill Cliff FC.

Chandler captioned his post:

"63 days... Plotting with @machinegunkelly #UFC303"

Although 'MGK' does not appear to be a big UFC fan, the rapper has been involved in disagreements with several fighters. Most notably, Baker had a public altercation with McGregor in 2021 and engaged in a social media feud with Sean Strickland earlier in 2024.

Many fans were disappointed to see 'Iron' associated with Machine Gun Kelly, telling the lightweight he would "lose fans" with the post. One commenter said:

"This stuff makes you lose fans"

More comments read:

"Brother this is basically saying you're plotting to be g** lol"

"Man I was rooting for you but now now..."

"You ruined your entire image and career in one photo"

"Can't wait to see what you two are cooking up!"
