Conor McGregor’s return to the UFC’s octagon was alleged to occur this Saturday in Las Vegas. However now, he can solely sit again and watch the Worldwide Struggle Week festivities happen from afar.
McGregor was scheduled to headline UFC 303 towards Michael Chandler earlier than a damaged toe scratched the most important star within the historical past of the game from the occasion. Now, the rematch for the sunshine heavyweight title between Alex Pereira and Jiri Prochazka sits atop the struggle card, and all McGregor can do is mirror on what may’ve been — as he did on Twitter Friday morning on the eve of the cardboard.
I’d be mendacity if I instructed you I wasn’t in deep ache proper now watching struggle week happen. Deep psychological ache. Thanks for the messages of help and encouragement, my friends and followers ❤️ ☘️

“I’d be mendacity if I instructed you I wasn’t in deep ache proper now watching struggle week happen,” McGregor stated. “Deep psychological ache. Thanks for the messages of help and encouragement, my friends and followers.”
As of now, the matchup with Chandler has not been rescheduled, however the former two-division champion hopes to compete in August or September. When he does make the stroll, McGregor will achieve this for the primary time in over three years since struggling a horrific leg damage in his TKO loss to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in July 2021.
