Conor McGregor’s return fight against Michael Chandler for UFC Card 303 has been cancelled. Officially McGregor-Chandler should be rescheduled later this year.
Also Conor McGregor must postpone his long-awaited return toUFC. The fight, which should have been held on Saturday 29 June, against Michael Chandler officially missed due to an ‘injury’. The news was announced by Dana White and it is surprising, as well as a hard blow for the many fans of the Irishman who was preparing to return to the octagon three years after his last fight.
Dana White’s announcement
When Conor McGregor’s big return was announced the surprise was huge, his legions of fans were counting down the days for the event, which was scheduled for the end of the month against Chandler. But Dana White, the head of the UFC, with a post on Instagram on Thursday evening, revealed the program of the UFC 303 card in Las Vegas, explaining that Alex Pereira And Jiri Prochazka will be the headliners of the event.
An extra luxury meeting, which won’t happen, at least for now. No information was provided about McGregor’s injury, White only said: “Here I am again, Conor McGregor is out of UFC 303 against Michael Chandler due to injury.” But it goes without saying that as more time passes since the last fight, the road to the great return of the greatest MMA star will become increasingly more complicated. Although it was officially stated that the meeting will be rescheduled by the end of 2024.
