Why is this fight happening — and what does it actually lead to?


Conor McGregor says his UFC contract may no longer exist — and that claim changes everything.

In this video, Chael Sonnen examines McGregor’s public statement that the UFC’s Paramount deal voided his existing contract and explains why, regardless of legal technicalities, the claim itself matters. If a fighter asserts there is no deal, the promotion cannot simply move forward as if one exists.

Chael walks through how the UFC historically handles contract disputes, why litigation is rarely the path taken, and how recent developments — including the sudden removal of McGregor from a proposed White House card — give unexpected weight to McGregor’s position. While the legal argument may be weak on paper, the real-world consequences are not.

The breakdown also explores the ripple effects on the event itself, the uncertainty surrounding the White House card, and why Michael Chandler appears caught in the middle of a larger negotiation strategy. With suspension timelines, promotional commitments, and public messaging all colliding, this has become one of the strangest booking situations the UFC has faced in years.

This isn’t prediction or hype. It’s an examination of what the available facts actually suggest — and why the situation may be far more unresolved than it appears.
