Michael Chandler is still being patient.

When the news of the cancelation of the fight between Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler was finally made official, many fans wondered if Chandler would continue to wait for the big fight he'd been promised. 

UFC president Dana White thinks he will. 

“I think poor Chandler wants to wait for Conor McGregor,” White said on The Jim Rome Show. “Whatever he wants to do, if he wants to get a fight this summer, we’ll do whatever he wants. He’s one of the greatest athletes I’ve ever worked with. He’s a good human being, and I like him a lot. Whatever he wants to do, we’ll figure it out for him.”

Chandler has already been waiting for quite some time. First for the completion of The Ultimate Fighter filming, then for the USADA issues, and longer for the Road House press tour. Now, with McGregor injured, it's unclear how much longer he may have to wait. 

And to his credit, Chandler doesn't want anyone to feel sorry for him. 

“Don’t you dare disrespect me by feeling sorry for me, don’t you dare disrespect me by having any kind of sympathy, be emboldened by my situation, be emboldened steadfastness and my immovability of hitching my dreams to a shooting star and continuing to move forward," Chandler said in a video posted to Instagram. “I am emboldened by this test, and this test ain’t done yet, and this test shall turn into part of my testimony."
