Conor McGregor UFC 303 News: Rumors & Updates for Michael Chandler Fight

With only a few weeks to go until Conor McGregor’s expected return against Michael Chandler at UFC 303, MMA KO is here to keep you posted on all the breaking news around the card and its highly-anticipated main event.

Set to take place on June 29 at the T-Mobile Arena to cap off International Fight Week in Las Vegas, UFC 303 will take place just shy of three years after McGregor’s last appearance in the Octagon at UFC 264.

A matchup between McGregor and his opposing The Ultimate Fighter coach Michael Chandler unfortunately failed to come together last year before it was finally booked for UFC 303, but the sudden decision to cancel a press conference in Dublin sent the MMA rumor mill into a tailspin as fans questioned whether or not the fight was in jeopardy.

“The Notorious” has already apologized to fans for the cancellation and cited “a series of obstacles outside of our control” regarding the UFC’s decision. The promotion apparently still intends to reschedule the press conference, but the chances of that happening will only decrease as we get closer to June 29.

The aftermath of the press conference cancellation saw McGregor make a number of non-fighting related posts on his Instagram that included a picture of him looking relaxed in a doctor’s office, and most recently the former two-division champion shared a number of training clips that are presumably from his ongoing camp for UFC 303.
