Conor McGregor pulled out of UFC 303 Fight Vs. Chandler after his injury

Conor McGregorUFC Return Delayed – “Infamous” Knocked Out of UFC 303 Principal Occasion Vs Michael Chandler.

UFC honcho Dana White introduced the devastating information late on Thursday night time – simply two weeks and a day earlier than the break – saying McGregor, 35, was injured and wouldn’t be capable to struggle. The character of the harm is at the moment unknown.

Chandler, 38, can be off the July 29 card … because the UFC will attempt to rebook the struggle at a later date.

Regardless of​​​​the announcement that occurred tonight, it was clear to MMA followers that one thing was incorrect. An enormous press convention was deliberate in Dublin to advertise the struggle, however was canceled on the final minute … for no obvious cause.

In truth, Chandler was minutes away from boarding a flight to Eire for a media occasion … however was alerted to the change simply in time to remain within the States.

Now, sadly, we all know.

However all shouldn’t be misplaced. The UFC acted rapidly … and have now scheduled a rematch between the sunshine heavyweight champion (and former middleweight title holder) Alex Pereira and former champion Use Prochazka.

The men previously fought at UFC 295. AP won the fight.

UFC is also installed Brian Ortega against Diego Lopez as a co-main event.

While these are two very good fights – perhaps great – it’s still a scary night for fans who have been waiting for the return of McGregor, the former champion who has not fought since breaking his leg against Dustin Poirier in July 2021.
