Conor McGregor's return to the UFC octagon will likely have to wait. MMA journalist Ariel Helwani reported that the fight between McGregor and Michael Chandler at UFC 303 being called off would be "a formality at this point." McGregor’s return to the Octagon is something the UFC world has been waiting for, as he was last seen in July 2021 fighting Dustin Poirier. Whether UFC CEO Dana White can find a main event replacement, if McGregor officially can’t go, is up in the air. Plus, McGregor’s return was the large pull for this card, so there won’t be the same draw if a replacement is found.
