Ariel Helwani shared significant updates regarding UFC 303’s future. The highly anticipated June 29 event, featuring Conor McGregor’s comeback against Michael Chandler, is now uncertain. Helwani tweeted about recent developments, expressing doubts about the likelihood of the fight.
Concerns eased last week, and there were no talks of replacements by Wednesday. Chandler confirmed everything was on track in an interview, and the UFC promoted the bout on Saturday’s ABC fight night telecast. However, as of this morning, multiple sources indicate talks for replacements have resumed for June 29, suggesting renewed pessimism compared to last week.
The press conference for their upcoming main event at Dublin’s 3Arena on Monday at midnight ET. However, the UFC unexpectedly postponed the event shortly before it began, citing a last-minute issue. This unforeseen delay led to speculation about the potential cancellation of the fight itself.
The speculation that the fight might be canceled centers on McGregor’s lack of promotion. Effective promotion is crucial for selling pay-per-view (PPV) events, especially given Conor McGregor’s substantial fan base, which typically drives ticket and PPV sales.
