Conor McGregor is “in good spirits” after being forced to withdraw from a fight for the first time in his UFC career against Michael Chandler at UFC 303 . McGregor (22-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC) was expected to return to competition after nearly three years against Chandler (23-8 MMA, 2-3 UFC) in the June 29 headliner at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, but then he sustained an injury that led to his withdrawal and a complete overhaul of the event. There was an attempt to keep the fight and date together after McGregor picked up the injury (which still hasn’t been specified), but ultimately he could not recover in time to perform. “The Notorious” confirmed as much during his first statement on the situation Saturday, and said the difficult decision was made to call it off was made collectively with his team and the UFC brass (via X ): Very tough to be ruled out of my scheduled return bout
