Rumors persist, and there is serious doubt about Conor McGregor’s potential comeback matchup with Michael Chandler being canceled for UFC 303. With the bout only a few weeks away, Chandler hinted that he had abandoned his training camp in Florida and was returning home.
This week, there was more conjecture after a press conference in Dublin was postponed a few hours before it was scheduled to happen. According to McGregor, the postponement was due to circumstances beyond their control. There have been rumors that the Irishman was hurt during training camp. Conor also uploaded a photo of himself lying on a hospital bed not too long ago.
The fate of Conor McGregor’s upcoming bout remains a mystery. The biggest star in mixed martial arts (MMA) will make his long-awaited comeback to the octagon on June 29 when he fights Michael Chandler at UFC 303. The Irishman is scheduled to meet Chandler. However, many are concerned that the showdown may be in peril due to the current events.
Is Conor McGregor’s Injury The Main Cause Behind the UFC 303 Press Conference Cancellation?
Following the recent press conference cancellation debacle (and other bad luck since then), which was linked to McGregor’s failure to show up, there have been concerns that the Irishman won’t show up for UFC 303, leading to the bout’s cancellation. Several explanations were put out, the most likely one being an injury.
In their podcast, Brendan Schaub and Bryan Callen discuss the latest information regarding the rumors and controversy surrounding Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler for UFC 303. Both of them denied that Conor could have hurt himself, saying that “if it was a straight-up broken leg,” the UFC would have informed the fans.
Naturally, the Irishman is at his best, and the UFC hoped this would generate more excitement and anticipation for the T-Mobile Arena card. Although McGregor apologized via Twitter, he didn’t fully address the reason behind the news conference’s cancellation. Everyone in the mixed martial arts community is curious whether “Notorious’s” planned rematch will occur.
