Conor McGregor is officially out of UFC 303 due to an 'injury', Dana White reveals

Conor McGregor’s long-awaited return to the UFC has officially been cancelled, with the Irishman pulling out of his upcoming fight against Michael Chandler due to an “injury”.

The news was revealed by UFC boss Dana White on Instagram on Thursday night, as he posted a video to reveal the new schedule for this month’s UFC 303 card in Las Vegas.

Alex Pereira and Jiri Prochazka will now headline the event, facing off on Saturday, June 29, and the news will come as a blow to the legions of McGregor fans who had planned a trip to Sin City in two weeks’ time.

No further information has been given about the nature of McGregor’s injury, but at the age of 35, there are now serious doubts over whether he will ever return to the octagon.

In a video announcing the news, UFC boss White simply stated: “Alright guys, here I am again… Conor McGregor is out of 303 vs Michael Chandler with an injury,” before revealing the status of the new billboard.
