Henry Cejudo offers a unique perspective on Conor McGregor ’s withdrawal from UFC 303. McGregor’s (22-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC) fight with Michael Chandler (23-8 MMA, 2-3 UFC) June 29 at T-Mobile Arena was scrapped after McGregor suffered an undisclosed injury . While many speculate that “The Notorious” may never fight again, Cejudo sees his withdrawal as a positive sign. “Let me put it to you this way Kamaru: The fact that Conor McGregor has to pull out, that’s actually a really good sign,” Cejudo said on his “Pound 4 Pound” podcast with Kamaru Usman. “What do I mean by that is he’s probably killing a little bit of his ego and now he’s taking it a lot more serious than ever. “It’s also an experience for him, so the way that I’m taking it, too, is that they’re going to fight, but he’s at that point where, ‘I want to make sure that I’m 100 percent,’ like this comeback to me is real.” Usman agrees with Cejudo.
