Conor McGregor Pulled Out of UFC 303 Fight

Star's Return to Octagon Postponed Due to Injury

Missed Main Event Marks Another Setback in Mcgregor's Career

In a major blow to the UFC, Conor McGregor has been forced to withdraw from his scheduled fight against Michael Chandler at UFC 303 due to an injury.

The news was announced by the UFC on Thursday, just over a month before the event was set to take place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

This is a significant setback for McGregor, who was making his long-awaited return to the octagon after a year-long layoff. The Irishman has not fought since his knockout loss to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in July 2021.

The injury is the latest in a series of setbacks for McGregor, who has been plagued by injuries throughout his career. The 34-year-old has fought just twice in the past three years, and both fights ended in defeat.

The UFC has not yet announced a replacement for McGregor, but Chandler is reportedly expected to remain on the card and face another opponent.

The withdrawal of McGregor from UFC 303 is a major disappointment for fans, who were eagerly anticipating his return. It is also a setback for the UFC, which was hoping to use McGregor's star power to boost the profile of the event.
