Fans feared the worst that Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler might be in jeopardy. The Irishman has spoken up since. He issued a social media message and apologized to the Irish fans.
Judging by McGregor’s latest tweet, his fight against Chandler doesn’t seem to be in immediate danger. He wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “In consultation with the UFC, todays press conference was cancelled due to a series of obstacles outside of our control. I apologize to my Irish fans, and fans around the world, for the inconvenience and appreciate all your passion and support. I can’t wait to put on the greatest all-time show in the Octagon.”
The UFC’s message also lacked the clarity that might have made fans come up with various speculations. Their statement read: “Dear UFC Fans– The #UFC303 press conference scheduled for Monday June 3rd in Dublin, Ireland at 3Arena has been postponed until further notice. We sincerely apologize to all the fans who were planning to attend. When we have further information on a new date and time, we will share it immediately. – Thank you.”
This came hours after Dana White told the media at the UFC 302 conference that he’d be flying out to Ireland. However, speculation started taking over the internet after the event was canceled. But later, Conor shared a post on X to keep the fans in the loop.
Daniel Cormier claims Conor McGregor called UFC 303 press conference off
