Seems Conor McGregor against. Michael Chandler is still very much here… The Notorious just showed off a set of highlights from his recent grueling training sessions – indicating that the massive UFC 303 tilt will continue as planned.
Of course, some were concerned that the main event on June 29 would be canceled… after a press conference planned for Monday in Ireland was canceled at the last minute without much explanation.
Waiting for your permission to load Instagram media.
McGregor released a statement after the surprise cancellation, expressing remorse for the situation – however, his brief apology was lacking in detail… leading many to wonder if his comeback attempt had been put on hold.
In consultation with the UFC, today’s press conference has been canceled due to a series of obstacles beyond our control. I apologize to my Irish fans and those around the world for the inconvenience caused and appreciate all of your passion and support. I can’t wait to put the best…

But it seems McGregor put all those qualms to bed late Thursday night… when he posted a bunch of videos of himself inside the Octagon, looking more ready than ever for a match.
In the clips, McGregor can be seen playing with his training partners… before landing big blows. He captioned it all with a GOAT emoji along with praying hands.

The 35-year-old Irishman has not fought in the UFC since July 2021… when he he broke his leg horribly in a match against Dustin Poirier. He officially agreed to the return fight with Chandler in the spring.
