Conor McGregor (Ireland) vs Michael Chandler (United States) is perhaps one of the biggest MMA fights this year. The bout will take place at UFC 303 on June 29.
The fight is already sold out. Just before UFC 302 Islam Makhachev vs. Dustin Poirier, UFC was all set to host the first press conference for UFC 303 McGregor vs Chandler.
However, the press conference was cancelled at the last minute, and the reason was not specified. Since then, rumours have been circulating whether the fight is cancelled.
On June 5, combat sports journalist Ariel Helwani said as of last night and today, I can tell you there is great positivity about this fight's future. If you’re asking me right now, is Conor McGregor going to fight Michael Chandler on June 29? My answer is yes.”
