It’s official, Conor McGregor’s “greatest comeback in combat sports history” will not happen on June 29.
After nearly three years on the shelf, the Irish megastar was set to square off with Michael Chandler in the main event of UFC 303. Unfortunately, that is no longer the plan with CEO Dana White revealing on Thursday that McGregor was forced to withdraw due to an injury. The nature of the injury is not known at this time.
As a result, the new main event is a light-heavyweight championship rematch between reigning titleholder Alex Pereira and Jiri Prochazka.
