UFC famous person Conor McGregor’s comeback has fallen via: As UFC President Dana White introduced Thursday afternoon in a video on social media, he will be unable to compete at UFC 303. It’s unclear but when can “The Infamous” step again into the Octagon.
“Conor McGregor cannot battle Michael Chandler at UFC 303 on account of harm,” White defined in his video. The brand new predominant occasion on June 29 in Las Vegas will now be a lightweight heavyweight title battle between Alex Pereira and Jiri Prochazka.
White didn’t reveal what the Irishman’s harm was, however the 35-year-old could have adopted it up in preparation for the battle towards Chandler (38). The New York Submit reported, citing inside sources, that McGregor’s harm shouldn’t be anticipated to be long-term. The UFC is already within the strategy of rescheduling the battle, presumably even in August.
It was McGregor’s first UFC battle since July 2021: At the moment, he suffered a severe leg break towards Dustin Poirier. The return of the UFC’s greatest star in its historical past had already damaged information: tickets alone are mentioned to have introduced in over $20 million.
