Chandler and McGregor were supposed to fight later this July. UFC 303 was The Notorious’s highly anticipated comeback after over three years of inactivity. However, things started falling through with the canceled press conference in Dublin, Ireland. Things were left pretty uncertain for a while until Dana White officially announced that the Irishman was out of UFC 303 citing injury. Later, McGregor posted on Instagram that he intends to be at his best when he returns. But will he really come back to fight Michael Chandler?
