Conor McGregor's UFC 303 Comeback Fight Against Michael Chandler Cancelled Due to Injury

Posted : 14 June 2024

 

Conor McGregor's highly anticipated comeback fight against Michael Chandler at UFC 303 on June 29th has been called off due to an injury suffered by the Irishman. McGregor, who was set to return for the first time since breaking his leg in a defeat to Dustin Poirier last year, will miss the welterweight bout in Las Vegas.

 

UFC president Dana White announced the cancellation, marking the first time McGregor has been forced to withdraw from a UFC fight due to injury. Additionally, the original co-main event between Jamahal Hill and Carlos Ulberg was also scrapped due to a knee injury to Hill.

 

In light of the cancellations, two new fights have been added to the card. Brazilian light-heavyweight champion Alex Pereira will defend his title against Jiri Prochazka in the new main event, while a featherweight bout between Brian Ortega and Diego Lopes takes the spot of the co-main event.

 

The cancellation comes as a disappointment to fans, especially considering the high anticipation surrounding McGregor's return. The fight, announced in May, sold out within minutes, underscoring McGregor's immense popularity and drawing power in the sport of mixed martial arts.
