Dana White has announced two fights for the Conor McGregor vs Michael Chandler card at UFC 303.
The event will close off International Fight Week on June 29. This will be McGregor’s first fight in over two years, and the UFC is striving hard to make the event a big one.
Most recently, two additions were made to the Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler card.
Middleweight prospect Joe Pyfer will make his return after suffering his first UFC loss to Jack Hermansson back in February, which ended his five-fight win streak overall. Pyfer will face Canadian powerhouse Marc-Andre Barriault, who comes into the fight with a 2-2 record in his past four fights, including wins over Julian Marquez.
Moreover, in the women’s strawweight division, submission specialist Gillian Robertson will look to build on her recent win when she faces longtime veteran Michelle Waterson-Gomez.
