On June 3, the promotion unexpectedly canceled a press conference with the fighters in Dublin, Ireland. Against this backdrop, rumors of McGregor's possible injury began to intensify.
"You hear all this talk, what's going on with Conor McGregor. Maybe they need a replacement again at late notice, so I'm always ready to come out," Volkanovski told Submission Radio.
Recall that Volkanovski was knocked out by Elijah Topuria in his last fight, which took place in February.
