Conor McGregor vs Michael Chandler Fight in Jeopardy Amid Cancellation Rumors
- Conor McGregor set for UFC return against Michael Chandler, confirmed by Dana White.
- Fans fear UFC 303 main event is off after press conference cancellation.
- Rumors swirl about the return of Conor McGregor and the fight's jeopardy.
UFC CEO Dana White said McGregor will fight Michael Chandler. They were coaches on 'The Ultimate Fighter' last year. Michael Chandler posted on Instagram, hinting that the fight with McGregor might be canceled. The McGregor vs Chandler fight is supposed to be the main event at UFC 303 on 29 June. But there are worries it might not happen. First, the press conference before the fight was canceled suddenly in Dublin. Then, ESPN's link for UFC 303 was removed. Chandler's Instagram post on Tuesday suggested he was in Tennessee instead of preparing for the fight. His teammate Paul Hughes mentioned that Chandler seemed confused about the situation. It seems like McGregor's team canceled the press conference, but the reason is unclear. McGregor hasn't fought since July 2021 when he broke his leg in a fight with Dustin Poirier. Chandler's last fight was in November 2022, where he lost to Poirier. There are rumors that McGregor's return might be in trouble due to the canceled press conference for UFC 303.
