Conor McGregor's Return to the Octagon Will Have to Wait

McGregor vs. Chandler Postponed

In a disappointing turn of events for eagerly anticipating fight fans, the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) announced Thursday that Conor McGregor's much-anticipated return to the octagon against Michael Chandler at UFC 303 has been postponed.

The news comes as a crushing blow to McGregor's legion of supporters, who have been eagerly awaiting his return since his last fight in July 2021. The 34-year-old Irishman has been sidelined with a leg injury sustained during that bout against Dustin Poirier.

While the UFC did not provide a specific reason for the postponement, sources close to the organization indicate that McGregor's recovery from his injury has taken longer than expected. As a result, the UFC has decided to reschedule the fight to a later date.

The postponement of McGregor's return is a significant setback for both the fighter and the UFC. McGregor is one of the biggest names in the sport and his return was expected to generate significant revenue for the organization. The UFC will now have to find a replacement opponent for Chandler at UFC 303, which is scheduled to take place on June 29th in Las Vegas, Nevada.
