Previously confirmed for UFC 303, Conor McGregor publishes a photo in the hospital and raises doubts about the fight; organization is already looking for a replacement
Despite having confirmed his return to the UFC octagon a few months ago, Conor McGregor has become a doubt again for an organization card in recent days. It all started with the cancellation of the first world tour press conference to promote the fight, and this Wednesday, the 5th, the fighter published a photo in the hospital.
The press conference in question would be in Dublin, Ireland, his country, and was canceled hours before the scheduled time, without further explanation for the thousands of spectators who would be present. As the days go by, the silence is increasingly bothering experts, who are designing possible replacements for the organization’s 303rd event.

As usual, Alexander Volkanovski He has already prepared to fight again, in what would be his first fight after losing his belt. Furthermore, Kayla Harrison also stated that he accepted the challenge, wanting to face Amanda Nuneswho has been retired for over a year.
It is worth remembering that UFC card 303 had already accumulated more than 20 million dollars in tickets, mainly for McGregor’s fight against michael chandler. Another important point would be preparation time, as the event is scheduled to take place in three weeks, in Las Vegas, in the United States.
