Off the back of his return to combat sports over the course of the weekend, UFC alum, Chael Sonnen has claimed former two-weight champion, Conor McGregor is not really injured amid his absence from UFC 303 this month – alleging the Dubliner is currently seeking treatment at a rehabilitation facility for “substance abuse issues”.
McGregor, a former undisptued lightweight champion and featherweight gold holder, was scheduled to headline UFC 303 later this month against former title challenger, Michael Chandler.
However, last week, UFC CEO, Dana White confirmed McGregor was out of his return fight against Missouri veteran, Chandler – confirming he had suffered an injury which would likely sideline him for a period of two months according to subsequent reports.
