Conor McGregor’s return to the UFC octagon has been derailed by an undisclosed injury, forcing him to withdraw from UFC 303. This highly anticipated fight against Michael Chandler was set for June 29, marking McGregor’s comeback after his last fight in 2021. Dana White announced that the new main event will feature a light heavyweight title fight between Alex Pereira and Jiri Prochazka, with Brian Ortega versus Diego Lopes serving as the co-main event.
McGregor’s injury comes after a series of setbacks, including a canceled press conference in Dublin and ongoing legal and personal issues. Despite the buildup and fan excitement, UFC 303 will now proceed without one of its biggest stars.
