The organizers had scheduled a press conference between Chandler and Conor in Dublin, but it had to be called off.
Rumors were going around in the UFC that Conor McGregor had an injury, which is why the presser in Dublin was called off.

Conor has already been sitting on the sidelines for three years after being injured against Dustin Poirier in the octagon in 2021.
