Story

Conor McGregor announced a postponement, not a cancellation, of his fight with Michael Chandler at UFC 303 due to an undisclosed injury. McGregor assured fans he will return at his best for the fight. The main event will now feature Alex Pereira against Jiri Prochazka, with a change in the co-main event as well. McGregor's last fight was in July 2021, where he broke his leg, while Chandler last fought in November 2022. Speculation arose after a Dublin press conference was postponed, leading to the fight's cancellation. McGregor hinted at an injury on social media, raising doubts about his participation. Finding a replacement for McGregor on short notice will be challenging, as his return was a major draw for the event. McGregor remains determined to fight despite his injury setback.
