A date and weight class for the bout against Chandler is yet to be confirmed by the promotion.
There were complaints lodged against the former two-division UFC champion after he allegedly hand-picked some athletes to compete on the reality show, which cost some other fighting prospects a chance.
UFC champion demands to know how Conor McGregor has become so "jacked"White offered no in depth detail about the allegations, and said he didn't care.
The UFC chief said: “I have no idea..Who gives a s***.”
In a since deleted tweet, McGregor also denied any wrongdoing.
The former UFC kingpin denied that he had contestants removed from the series.
McGregor said: “I didn’t ask nor request nothing, and I certainly didn’t have people removed."
White went on to promise if anybody did get booted from the show they will still end up with an opportunity, but it may not be on the promotion's reality show.
The UFC boss added: “You’re trying to get guys to commit to coach and to do the coaching commitment, especially when you live in Ireland, you know what I mean? Yeah, Conor’s going to get some things that he wants,
“Nobody lost an opportunity here. If there were guys that were booked to do that, we’ll do something with them.
"It’s not just like, hey, see you later, pal, good luck to you. You know? Have a good life, we’ll figure it out, We’ll take care of these guys.”
